Project Euler Problem 074: https://projecteuler.net/problem=74
|
|
|
|
Starting from any positive integer number
|
|
it is possible to attain another one summing the factorial of its digits.
|
|
|
|
Repeating this step, we can build chains of numbers.
|
|
It is not difficult to prove that EVERY starting number
|
|
will eventually get stuck in a loop.
|
|
|
|
The request is to find how many numbers less than one million
|
|
produce a chain with exactly 60 non repeating items.
|
|
|
|
Solution approach:
|
|
This solution simply consists in a loop that generates
|
|
the chains of non repeating items.
|
|
The generation of the chain stops before a repeating item
|
|
or if the size of the chain is greater then the desired one.
|
|
After generating each chain, the length is checked and the counter increases.
