 Happy Number Happy Number
Do you know what is meant by happy number?
A happy number is a number defined by the following procedure:
Starting with any non- negative number, replace the number by the sum of the squares of its each digit and repeat the procedure until the number equals 1 (where it will stay).
The following numbers are happy number 1,7,10,13,19,23,28,31,32,44,49,68,70, 79,.....
Example:
STEP – 1:
23 = 2^2 + 3^2
= 4 + 9
= 13
STEP - 2:
13 = 1^2 + 3^2
= 1+9
= 10
STEP – 3:
10 = 1^2 + 0^2
= 1
