## Description
<section id='description'>
A number chain is created by continuously adding the square of the digits in a number to form a new number until it has been seen before.
For example,
<div style='margin-left: 4em;'>
44 → 32 → 13 → 10 → <strong>1</strong><strong>1</strong><br>
85 → <strong>89</strong> → 145 → 42 → 20 → 4 → 16 → 37 → 58 → <strong>89</strong>
</div>
Therefore any chain that arrives at 1 or 89 will become stuck in an endless loop. What is most amazing is that EVERY starting number will eventually arrive at 1 or 89.
How many starting numbers below ten million will arrive at 89?

## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>squareDigitChains()</code> should return a number.
testString: assert(typeof squareDigitChains() === 'number');
- text: <code>squareDigitChains()</code> should return 8581146.
testString: assert.strictEqual(squareDigitChains(), 8581146);
```
</section>
## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function squareDigitChains() {
// Good luck!
return true;
}
squareDigitChains();
```
</div>
</section>
