Rename Project Euler directories and other dependent changes (#3300)
* Rename all Project Euler directories: Reason: The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory and to keep all directories in sorted order. Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified: 'problem_22` -> `problem_022` * Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, tn = ½n(n+1); so
|
||||
the first ten triangle numbers are:
|
||||
|
||||
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
|
||||
|
||||
By converting each letter in a word to a number corresponding to its
|
||||
alphabetical position and adding these values we form a word value. For example,
|
||||
the word value for SKY is 19 + 11 + 25 = 55 = t10. If the word value is a
|
||||
triangle number then we shall call the word a triangle word.
|
||||
|
||||
Using words.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 16K text file
|

containing nearly two-thousand common English words, how many are triangle
|

words?
