Classic happy number is defined by the following process: starting with a positive number n, replace n by the sum of the squares of each digit of n in base-ten, and repeat the process until n either reaches a fixed point 1, or a cycle not containing 1. For a number ends with a fixed point, then it is a happy number. A number ends with a cycle is unhappy. This project explores the generalization of iterations of f_p, p
