+/*
+ * Detect if a number is a happy number. A number is happy number if
+ * sequence of operations where number is replaced by sum of square
+ * of its digits leads eventually to 1. A number is not a happy number
+ * if we are in an infinite loop when above operations are performed.
+ * 
+ * Input: 49
+ * 4^2 + 9^2 = 16 + 81 = 97
+ * 9^2 + 7^2 = 81 + 49 = 130
+ * 1^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 = 1 + 9 + 0 = 10
+ * 1^2 + 0^2 = 1
+ * Thus 49 is a happy number.
+ * Approach:
+ * 
+ * We can treat this problem same as finding a cycle in a linked list.
+ * Imagine intermediate numbers as node and operation of square and sum
+ * as link.
+ * If we find the cycle, and the cycle is at 1, number is a happy number.
+ * Else, the number is not a happy number.
