202. Happy Number

Tags: ‘Hash Table’, ‘Math’

Write an algorithm to determine if a number is "happy".

A happy number is a number defined by the following process: Starting with any positive integer, replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until the number equals 1 (where it will stay), or it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1. Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy numbers.

Example: 

Input: 19
Output: true
Explanation: 
12 + 92 = 82
82 + 22 = 68
62 + 82 = 100
12 + 02 + 02 = 1

Solution

// Assume either there is a loop or go back to 1 (not going infinite)
public boolean isHappy(int n) {
    Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<>();
    int squareSum = 0, remain = 0;
    while (set.add(n)) {
        squareSum = 0;
        while (n > 0) {
            remain = n % 10;
            squareSum += remain * remain;
            n /= 10;
        }
        if (squareSum == 1) return true;
        n = squareSum;
    }
    return false;
}

//Floyd Cycle detection algorithm
public boolean isHappy(int n) {
    int slow = n, fast = n;
    do {
        slow = squareSum(slow);
        fast = squareSum(fast);
        fast = squareSum(fast);
        if (fast == 1) return true; 
    } while (slow != fast)
    return 0;
}
