Question 15

A 'Happy Word' is defined as:

Take a word and calculate the word's value based on

position of the letters in English alphabet. On the
basis of word’s value, find the sum of the squares of
its digits. Repeat the process with the resultant
number until the number equals 1 (one). If the
number ends with 1 then the word is called a 'Happy
Word'.
Write a program to input a word and check whether it a
‘Happy Word’ or not. The program displays a message
accordingly.

Place value of V = 22, A= 1, T = 20
