Python, no string manipulation def f(n): n += 1 p = 1 m = n while m: if m % 1000 == 666: n += p - n % p p *= 10 m /= 10 return n Works by finding powers of 10, p, where 666 appears, and adding p - n % p to n which replaces 666xxxxx with 66700000.

Python, 32 bytes lambda n:eval('['*n+'n'+']*n'*n) Try it online! Makes a string like "[[[n]*n]*n]*n" with n multiplcations, and evaluates it as Python code. Since the evaluation happens within the function scope, the variable name n evaluates to the function input.

JavaScript (updated to work with all test cases) The little-known truth is that there are actually four 6s, but one of the betrayed the others and polymorphed into code form to eradicate them from the world digits of the numbers. Here is that traitorous six: x=prompt(''+ 'Enter number'); alert( ( (~x[ 'ind'+ 'exOf']('666')))?(x .replace(/666(.*...

Funciton, 1222 bytes Apart from numeric literals, there are two ways I can produce a value (any value at all) in Funciton: stdin and lambda expressions. Stdin is a single box while a full lambda expression requires more syntax, so I’m going with stdin. However, while stdin could be anything, all of the following work regardless of what input is provided. ...
