    Let \(e\geq 2\), \(b\geq 2\) be integers and \(0\leq a_i<b\), define \(S_{e, b}: \mathbb Z^+ \to\mathbb Z^+\) by \(S_{e,b}(a_0+a_1b+\cdots +a_nb^n)=a_0^e+a_1^e+\cdots +a_n^e.\) If \(S_{e,b}^m(a)=1\) for some \(m\geq 0\), then \(a\) is an \(e\)-power \(b\)-happy number. In this paper, the author gives some arithmetic of sequences of consecutive happy numbers.
