## The solution
-We first need to get the possible leading numbers.. to do this we split the
-string into individual digits. We then concatenate each digit on to the end
+We first need to get the possible leading numbers.. to do this we split the string into individual digits. We then concatenate each digit on to the end
of the sequence (`$start.=$_`)....
-Within each loop we just stitch together the string by incrementing the
-number each time through the loop..
+Within each loop we just stitch together the string by incrementing the number each time through the loop..
+ * We use string (in)equalities/incremements so this will work with arbitrarily large numbers (see examples in script)
* We reduce the maximum calculations by a factor of 2 by spliting just the first half of the string
- * We use string (in)equalities so this will work with arbitrary numbers.
* We have to check length as well as the strings in the while condition (because we are using string comparison)
