Armstrong number in C
What is an Armstrong number?
An Armstrong number in C or in any language is a number that is equal to the sum of digits that is raised to the power of number of digits in the number. In simple terms if a three digit number is Armstrong number only if the sum of individual’s cube is equal to the original number itself.
Syntax:
abcd... = an + bn + cn + dn +
Syntax:
254 = 2*2*2 + 5*5*5 + 4*4*4
Algorithm:
- Step 1: Start
- Step 2: Initialize and declare the variable current_pointer, sum=0 and num=number.
- Step 3: Read 3 digit integer input from the user.
- Step 4:Do step 5 to 7 until num>0.
- Step5:current_pointer=(num%10)
- Step 6: sum=sum(current_pointer*current_pointer*current_pointer)
- Step 7: num=number/10
- Step 8: Check if the sum==number
- Step 9: If true then print”The number is an Armstrong number”.
- Step 10: Else print” Number is not an Armstrong number”.
- Step 11: End.
Working:
Example 1 to check Armstrong number in C:
Program where the number is predefined and checked if it is Armstrong number or not.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int isArmstrong(int number)
{
int current_digit, sum = 0, num = number, number_of_digits;
while (num > 0)
{
current_digit = num % 10;
sum = sum + pow(current_digit, 3);
num = num / 10;
}
if (sum == number)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
int main()
{
int n= 371, isArmstrongNumber;
isArmstrongNumber = isArmstrong(n);
if (isArmstrongNumber == 1)
{
printf("%d is an Armstrong Number.", n);
}
else
{
printf("%d is not an Armstrong Number.", n);
}
return 0;
}
Output:
371 is an Armstrong Number.
Example 2 to check Armstrong number in C:
Program to check a three digit number taken as input from the user to check if it is Armstrong number or not.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n, Num, rem, result = 0;
printf("Enter a three-digit integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
Num = n;
while (Num != 0)
{
rem = Num % 10;
result += rem * rem * rem;
Num /= 10;
}
if (result == n)
printf("%d is an Armstrong number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not an Armstrong number.", n);
return 0;
}
Input:
Enter a three-digit integer: 371
Output:
371 is an Armstrong number.
Example 3 to check Armstrong number in C:
Program to check a number taken as input from the user to check if it is Armstrong number or not.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
int n, Num, remainder, i = 0;
float result = 0.0;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
Num = n;
for (Num = n; Num != 0; ++i)
{
Num /= 10;
}
for (Num = n; Num != 0; Num /= 10)
{
remainder = Num % 10;
result += pow(remainder, i);
}
if ((int)result == n)
printf("%d is an Armstrong number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not an Armstrong number.", n);
return 0;
}
Input:
Enter a three-digit integer: 1634
Output:
1634 is an Armstrong number.
