Can you provide a code to reduce N to 1 with minimum number of given operations and the other steps required given the following:
Reduce N to 1 with minimum number of given operations | Function to return the minimum number of given operations required to reduce n to 1.
To store the count of operations.
To store the digit.
If n is already then no operation is required.
Extract all the digits except the first digit.
Store the maximum of that digits.
for each digit.
First digit.
Add the value to count.
Driver code"
How can the above be solved in Python?

	count = 0

	if ( n == 1 ) :
		return 0
	while ( n > 9 ) :
		d = max ( n % 10 , d )
		n //= 10
		count += 10
	d = max ( d , n - 1 )
	count += abs ( d )
