Kristofer Koishigawa 6cfd0fc503 fix: improve Project Euler descriptions, challenge seeds, and test cases (#38016)
* fix: improve Project Euler descriptions and test case

Improve formatting of Project Euler test descriptions. Also add poker hands array and new test case for problem 54

* feat: add typeof tests and gave functions proper names for first 100 challenges

* fix: continue fixing test descriptions and adding "before test" sections

* fix: address review comments

* fix: adjust grids in 18 and 67 and fix some text that reference files rather than the given arrays

* fix: implement bug fixes and improvements from review

* fix: remove console.log statements from seed and solution

5900f3c81000cf542c50fedb 5 Problem 92: Square digit chains 302209

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,

44 → 32 → 13 → 10 → 11
85 → 89 → 145 → 42 → 20 → 4 → 16 → 37 → 58 → 89

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?

Instructions

Tests

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);

Challenge Seed

function squareDigitChains() {
  // Good luck!
  return true;
}

squareDigitChains();

Solution
