Happy Number
Description
Write an algorithm to determine if a number n
is "happy".
A happy number is a number defined by the following process: Starting with any positive integer, replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until the number equals 1 (where it will stay), or it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1. Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy numbers.
Return True if n
is a happy number, and False if not.
Example:
Input: 19 Output: true Explanation: 12 + 92 = 82 82 + 22 = 68 62 + 82 = 100 12 + 02 + 02 = 1
Solution(javascript)
/**
* @param {number} n
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isHappy = function(n) {
const getNum = (x) => x.toString().split("").reduce((acc, num) => acc + Number(num) * Number(num), 0)
let slow = getNum(n)
let fast = getNum(slow)
while(slow !== fast) {
if(fast === 1) {
return true
}
slow = getNum(slow)
fast = getNum(fast)
fast = getNum(fast)
}
return fast === 1
};
