C Program to Check Armstrong (Narcissistic) Number

A number is said to be Armstrong or Narcissistic Number if it is equal to the sum of its own digits raised to the power of the number of digits in a given number.

For example number 153 is Armstrong number because: 1³ + 5³ + 3³ = 153

Similary, 1634 is also Armstrong number i.e. 1⁴+6⁴+3⁴+4⁴ = 1634

Single digits number 1 to 9 are also Armstrong numbers.

Program

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>

int main()
{
	 int number, original, rem, sum=0, digit=0;
	 clrscr();
	 printf("Enter number: ");
	 scanf("%d", &number);
	
	 original = number;
	
	 /* Counting number of digit in a given number */
	 while(number!=0)
	 {
		  digit++;
		  number = number/10;
	 }
	 
	 /* After execution above loop number becomes 0
	    So copying original number to variable number */
	    
	 number = original;
	 /* Finding sum */
	 while(number != 0)
	 {
		  rem = number%10;
		  sum = sum + pow(rem, digit);
		  number = number/10;
	 }
	 /* Making decision */
	 if(sum == original)
	 {
	  	printf("%d is ARMSTRONG.", original);
	 }
	 else
	 {
	  	printf("%d is NOT ARMSTRONG.", original);
	 }
	 getch();
	 return(0);
}

Output of the above program :

Run 1:
----------
Enter number: 153 ↲
153 is ARMSTRONG.

Run 2:
----------
Enter number: 1634 ↲
1634 is ARMSTRONG.

Run 3:
----------
Enter number: 1234 ↲
1234 is NOT ARMSTRONG.

Note: ↲ indicates enter is pressed.
