To determine if 386 is a happy number or unhappy number, we square each digit in 386 and then add those numbers together.
Then we repeat the process for the result until either the result turns to 1 or we realize it will never be 1.
If it becomes a 1, then it is a happy numbers. Otherwise, it is an unhappy number.
Here is the math to make it more clear:
32 + 82 + 62 = 109
12 + 02 + 92 = 82
82 + 22 = 68
62 + 82 = 100
12 + 02 + 02 = 1
Since we ended up with a 1 at the end, 386 is a:
