Created by sunny d

Solve Later

A number is perfect if it is equal to the sum of its factors, excluding itself.
Example
The number 6 is perfect since its factors (other than 6) are 1, 2, and 3.
 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
Return 1 for true (perfect), otherwise 0.

Could you improve your test suite with more test cases? (e.g. 496, 28 (true) and 26, 500 (false))

The point "the sum of its factors" is not correct. it must be "the sum of all his divisors"... :-/
