HAPPY > adjective  feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.  [The New Oxford Dictionary Of English]

A happy number is a number for which the sum of the squares of the digits eventually equals 1. For instance, 203 is happy:

203 : 22 + 02 + 32 =  13
13 : 12 + 32 =  10
10 : 12 + 02 =  1
 

Numbers that are not happy, such as 16, are called unhappy numbers.
