# --description--
If you add the square of the digits of a Natural number (an integer bigger than zero), you always end with either 1 or 89:
<pre>15 -> 26 -> 40 -> 16 -> 37 -> 58 -> 89
7 -> 49 -> 97 -> 130 -> 10 -> 1
</pre>
# --instructions--
Write a function that takes a number as a parameter and returns 1 or 89 after performing the mentioned process.
# --hints--
`iteratedSquare` should be a function.
```js
assert(typeof iteratedSquare == 'function');
```
`iteratedSquare(4)` should return a number.
```js
assert(typeof iteratedSquare(4) == 'number');
```
`iteratedSquare(4)` should return `89`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(4), 89);
```
`iteratedSquare(7)` should return `1`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(7), 1);
```
`iteratedSquare(15)` should return `89`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(15), 89);
```
`iteratedSquare(20)` should return `89`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(20), 89);
```
`iteratedSquare(70)` should return `1`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(70), 1);
```
`iteratedSquare(100)` should return `1`.
```js
assert.equal(iteratedSquare(100), 1);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function iteratedSquare(n) {
}
```
# --solutions--
```js
function iteratedSquare(n) {
var total;
while (n != 89 && n != 1) {
total = 0;
while (n > 0) {
total += Math.pow(n % 10, 2);
n = Math.floor(n/10);
}
n = total;
}
return n;
}
```
