Lychrel number
Lychrel number # programming # mathematics # algorithms # numbertheory A Lychrel number is a natural number that cannot form a palindrome through the iterative process of reversing its digits and adding the resulting numbers. This process is often referred to as the 196-algorithm , named after the most famous number associated with it. To determine if a number is a Lychrel number in Pascal, we implement a string-based approach to handle large numbers generated during iterations. Here's a structured solution: Key Components String Reversal: Reverse the digits of a number represented as a string. String Addition: Add two large numbers (as strings) to avoid integer overflow. Palindrome Check: Verify if a string is a palindrome. Iteration Loop: Perform up to 500 iterations of reversal and addition, checking for palindromes.
