Description

Surprisingly there are only three numbers that can be written as the sum of fourth powers of their digits: 1634 = 1⁴ + 6⁴ + 3⁴ + 4⁴ 8208 = 8⁴ + 2⁴ + 0⁴ + 8⁴ 9474 = 9⁴ + 4⁴ + 7⁴ + 4⁴ As 1 = 1⁴ is not a sum it is not included. The sum of these numbers is 1634 + 8208 + 9474 = 19316. Find the sum of all the numbers that can be written as the sum of n powers of their digits.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>digitnPowers(2)</code> should return 0.
    testString: assert(digitnPowers(2) == 0);
  - text: <code>digitnPowers(3)</code> should return 1301.
    testString: assert(digitnPowers(3) == 1301);
  - text: <code>digitnPowers(4)</code> should return 19316.
    testString: assert(digitnPowers(4) == 19316);
  - text: <code>digitnPowers(5)</code> should return 443839.
    testString: assert(digitnPowers(5) == 443839);

Challenge Seed
