This is a cryptarithmetic puzzle where each letter represents a unique digit from 0 to 9. The goal is to assign digits to the letters in such a way that the equation becomes valid. Let’s solve step by step:

1. Letters involved:

   • Letters in the equation are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.
   • The equation is $ABC + DEF = GHIJ$.

2. Equation:

   • $ABC$ is a three-digit number: $100A + 10B + C$.
   • $DEF$ is a three-digit number: $100D + 10E + F$.
   • $GHIJ$ is a four-digit number: $1000G + 100H + 10I + J$.

   The equation becomes: $(100A + 10B + C) + (100D + 10E + F) = (1000G + 100H + 10I + J)$

3. Step-by-step strategy:

   • Use logic and trial and error to assign digits to letters such that no digits are repeated and the equation holds.

Since this can involve multiple iterations, I can assist by either computing potential solutions or guiding you through steps. Would you like me to compute this for you or assist with step-by-step reasoning?
