Question
Write an algorithm to determine if a number 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.
Example: 19 is a happy number
12 + 92 = 82
82 + 22 = 68
62 + 82 = 100
12 + 02 + 02 = 1

How to determine whether it comes into cycle ? using hashset
Code
class Solution(object):
def isHappy(self, n):
"""
:type n: int
:rtype: bool
"""
hashset = set([])
while True:
n = list(str(n))
n = [int(elem)**2 for elem in n]
n = sum(n)
if n==1:
return True
else:
if n in hashset:
return False
else:
hashset.add(n)
