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

## Description
<section id='description'>
2<sup>15</sup> = 32768 and the sum of its digits is 3 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 8 = 26.
What is the sum of the digits of the number 2<sup>`exponent`</sup>?
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>powerDigitSum(15)</code> should return a number.
testString: assert(typeof powerDigitSum(15) === 'number');
- text: <code>powerDigitSum(15)</code> should return 26.
testString: assert.strictEqual(powerDigitSum(15), 26);
- text: <code>powerDigitSum(128)</code> should return 166.
testString: assert.strictEqual(powerDigitSum(128), 166);
- text: <code>powerDigitSum(1000)</code> should return 1366.
testString: assert.strictEqual(powerDigitSum(1000), 1366);
```
</section>
## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function powerDigitSum(exponent) {
// Good luck!
return true;
}
powerDigitSum(15);
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function powerDigitSum(exponent) {
const bigNum = [1];
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 1; i <= exponent; i++) {
let count = bigNum.length + 1;
let overflow = 0;
for (let j = 0; j < count; j++) {
let digit = bigNum[j] || 0;
digit = 2 * digit + overflow;
if (digit > 9) {
digit -= 10;
overflow = 1;
} else {
overflow = 0;
}
bigNum[j] = digit;
}
}
bigNum.forEach(function(num) {
return sum += num;
});
return sum;
}
```
