# --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?
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`squareDigitChains()` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof squareDigitChains() === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`squareDigitChains()` should return 8581146.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(squareDigitChains(), 8581146);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
## --seed-contents--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function squareDigitChains() {
|
|
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
squareDigitChains();
|
|
```
