Irregularly posted coding challenge #5!

This will be similar to number 3. Kaprekar numbers. Read my answer for info. Either: a) Have the user enter a number and check if it's a Kaprekar number or not b) Have the user enter a number n and print the first n Kaprekar numbers c) Have the users enter two numbers n and m and print all Kaprekar numbers between them

A Kaprekar number is a positive integer where the square of it can be split into two halves, and adding those together, turns back into the initial number. Example: 45 is a Kaprekar number, because: 45² = 2025 You can split 2025 into 20 and 25 20 + 25 = 45

@Burey nice code, I like how you designed the page (with info, examples etc) @Edward I like that you took a different challenge instead of the typical "is x a Kaprekar?"!

@Burey I guess the square of 1 (1) can separate into one part (1) which, totalled, equals one.

ty for the heads up @Edward fixed it now by validating that the right side of the pair is not made entirely of '0'

i have problems with the number 1 as well it's due to the fact its squarr is also one and cannot be divided into two parts so have to make a private case of it

@burey i just noticed, your code says 100 is a kaprekar. but according to wikipedia its not; 100^2 = 10000 and 100 + 00 does in fact equal 100, but wikipedia says you cant add 0 in the second half of the square

Enter 2 numbers, it will return the Kaprekar Numbers between them. It isn't as good as Edwards, but it does work https://code.sololearn.com/cceiiT6pO3M5/?ref=app
