Thought Process

I have 2 functions

1. ispalindrome(x)

   • Pretty self explanatory function, returns True if x is a palindrome, returns False if it is not

2. compute(limit)

   • This function will find all lychrel numbers less than limit by finding all the non-lychrel-numbers

   • It's a brute force way, I check all numbers from 1 to limit while updating the number

     1. I do a quick check to see if the number I am currently checking is a palindrome, if it is I move it one step forward and add its reverse to it

   • Then I have a for loop, which simply adds the reverse to a number 50 times, until it is a palindrome in which case I add 1 to the count of non-lychrel-numbers and break the loop.

   • After everything is done I return (limit - non-lychrel-numbers)
