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

/**
* @param {number} n
* @return {boolean}
*/
function isHappyHelper(n, hash) {
var arr = n.toString().split('');
var ret = 0;
for (var i in arr) {
ret += parseInt(arr[i]) * parseInt(arr[i]);
}
if (ret === 1) {
return true;
} else {
if (hash.includes(ret)) {
return false;
} else {
hash.push(ret);
return isHappyHelper(ret, hash);
}
}
}
var isHappy = function (n) {
return isHappyHelper(n, []);
};
Pay attention to the dictionary "Hash", it will be updated to be [] if we call it recursively.
Pass hash as a parameter will solve the problem.
