For example: "112358" is an additive number because the digits can form an additive sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 5 = 8 "199100199" is also an additive number, the additive sequence is: 1, 99, 100, 199. 1 + 99 = 100, 99 + 100 = 199 Note: Numbers in the additive sequence cannot have leading zeros, so sequence 1, 2, 03 or 1, 02, 3 is invalid.
