27 What are “Happy Numbers”?

A007770 – OEIS

In number theory, in the decimal system, a happy number is a natural number that, as an initial value for a particular iteration procedure – the individual digits are squared and added; this number is treated in the same way, etc. – leads to the numerical value 1 after finitely many iteration steps.

For example, 19 is a happy number:

19 => 11 + 99 = 82 => 88 + 2 2 = 68 => 6*6 + 8 * 8 = 100 => 1*1 => 1

There are 143 merry numbers that are less than or equal to 1000. These are:
