Project Euler task 56
A googol (10100) is a massive number: one followed by one-hundred zeros; 100100 is almost unimaginably large: one followed by two-hundred zeros. Despite their size, the sum of the digits in each number is only 1.
Considering natural numbers of the form, ab, where a, b 100, what is the maximum digital sum?

iMaxSum = 0;
For[i = 1, i < 100, i++,
For[j = 1, j < 100, j++,
iSum = 0;
sNums = Characters[ToString[i^j]];
For[n = 1, n <= Length[sNums], n++,
iSum += ToExpression[sNums[[n]]];
];
If[iMaxSum < iSum, iMaxSum = iSum];
