[CONTEST]Program of the Week - Week 49[DISCUSS]

[Hell_Demon]

Happy numbers!

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, while those that do not end in 1 are unhappy number

This weeks program should write all happy numbers below 10000 into "output.txt".

Upload your code on pastebin and PM(!) me a link.

People who have solved it:
doofbla solution
Jason's VB solution
Hell_Daddy's solution

~ Thread is open for discussion as this was the last POTW >.> ~

[Jason]

VB is boss,

Nice solution, Hell_Daddy and Doofbla. I like reading H_D's comments

[NextGen1]

Good job those who solved it. Look forward to more, Good job H_D

[Hell_Demon]

Look forward to more, Good job H_D

Maybe in the far future, cause it doesn't seem to attract anyone, only doofbla and jason solved both POTW's

[Jason]

We need POTW to be in all programming sections (or at least VB/C++ sections, because they have the largest activity.

honestly, i don't get involved in it cuz i learned c++ from Liberty's book, and it doesn't get that in to the SDL i think it's called. I didn't learn c++ in a class like most of you, so i just moved on to the winapi, so winapi programs would be fun, or programs that are interesting, not removing certain numbers from a text file. That's just my opinion, i hope no one's offended.

Goodjob to everyone that participated. Everyone else sucks

I've never taken a programming class or read a programming book in my life

The fun in this sort of programming is the logic, if you don't like logic....I guess that's your loss because it's a key part of any programming challenge. I don't think many people around here took C++ classes anyway. Looking at HDs and doofbla's solutions, none of it seems to be confined to any type of C++ programming (for-loops, if, etc..)

You can easily make this a console application and write to the output file.

I've read 1 book, 9 years ago. The rest I've learned from just toying around

[doofbla]

I've learned from just toying around

That's how I learned too And how I'm still learning...
And sometimes endless time spent on google

You can't never finish learning

[Jason]

You can't never finish learning

Double negative

You can't finish learning.

Grammar nazi

@HD + doofbla I agree completely, learning by doing is the bomb.

[doofbla]

Is smth. from this right?

"You can never finish learning?"
"You can't ever finish learning?"

[Hell_Demon]

Is smth. from this right?

"You can never finish learning?"
"You can't ever finish learning?"

Both are correct

[Jason]

Is smth. from this right?

"You can never finish learning?"
"You can't ever finish learning?"

You can never finish learning correct!
You can't ever finish learning correct!
You can't never finish learning bull fucking shit

[why06]

You can't never finish learning bull fucking shit

Except in real life people talk like this all the time.
