Happy Number

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.
  • 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.

Return true if n is a happy number, and false if not.

Example 1:

Input: n = 19
Output: true
Explanation:
12 + 92 = 82
82 + 22 = 68
62 + 82 = 100
12 + 02 + 02 = 1

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: false

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 231 - 1

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def isHappy(self, n: int) -> bool:
        visited = set()
        while n != 1:
            if n in visited:
                return False
            visited.add(n)
            nn = 0
            while n != 0:
                c = n % 10
                nn += c * c
                n = n // 10
            n = nn
        return True
