How many positive integers less than 9999 are there in which the sum

I will break 6 into 4 digits first then find the number of satisfactory numbers for each set of numbers.
To break 6 down, we can have:
(1) 6 + 0 + 0 + 0. Note 0006 also counts, so this is 4 numbers. We can use 4! / (3!*1!) = 4 for all of these. (3! is to get rid of the duplicate 0's.)
(2) 5 + 1 + 0 + 0. 4!/(2!) = 12.
(3) 4 + 2 + 0 + 0. Similar as above, 12 numbers.
(4) 4 + 1 + 1 + 0. 4! / 2! = 12 numbers.
(5) 3 + 3 + 0 + 0. 4! / (2! * 2!) = 6.
(6) 3 + 2 + 1 + 0. 4! = 24.
(7) 3 + 1 + 1 + 1. 4! / 3! = 4.
(8) 2 + 2 + 2 + 0. 4! / 3! = 4.
(9) 2 + 2 + 1 + 1. 4! / (2!*2!) = 6.

In total, we have 4 + 36 + 6 + 24 + 8 + 6 = 40 + 30 + 14 = 84 numbers.

Another quick way to do this is to imagine a number that starts with 0000 and we are adding 1's in front of the slots to make the digits sum to 6, and we add 1's 6 times. For example 110, 110, 110, 0. Would correspond to 2220. 0, 0, 1110, 1110 would correspond to 0033. Regardless we can add 1's everywhere, so the first 9 digits (not including the very last 0 since we only add 1's in front of 0's) can be randomized. There are 6 one's and 3 zero's however so in total there are 9! / (6!*3!) = 9C3 = 9 * 8 * 7 / 6 = 3 * 4 * 7 = 84 combinations that are unique.
