Armstrong number in C | Here we will develop the C program to check number is Armstrong number or not?

A positive integer is called Armstrong number of order n if, abcd…. =  an + bn + cn + dn + ….

For Example :- 153
13 + 53 + 33 = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153
So, 153 is an Armstrong number of order 3.

4150 = 45 + 15 + 55 + 05 = 1,024 + 1 + 3,125 + 0 = 4150
So, 4150 is an Armstrong number of order 5 .

C program to check Armstrong number of order Three

Check Armstrong number in C using while loop

 #include<stdio.h>
 int main()
 {
      int number, temp, rem, sum=0;

      printf("Enter number: ");
      scanf("%d",&number);

      temp=number;
      while( number!=0 )
      {
          rem = number%10;
          sum += (rem*rem*rem);
          number /= 10; //number=number/10
      }

      if(temp == sum)
          printf("%d is an Armstrong number of order 3.\n",temp);
      else
          printf("%d is not an Armstrong number of order 3.\n",temp);

      return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter number: 150
150 is not an Armstrong number of order 3.

Enter number: 153
153 is an Armstrong number of order 3.

Note for Code:: Blocks IDE users:-

Many of you may be using CodeBlocks for developing C programs. There is a small problem with codeblocks IDE. The above code works fine in other IDE or environments, but in the codeblocks IDE it shows “153 is not an Armstrong number”.

You can verify it by debugging the code, or paste the below while loop in place of the original loop in the program, it will show the execution flow.

while( number != 0 )
{
remainder = number%10;
printf("Remainder=%d\t",remainder);
int power = pow(remainder, n);
printf("power=%d\t",power);
sum += power; //sum=sum+pow(remainder,n)
printf("sum= %d\n",sum);
number /= 10; //number=number/10
}

Output:-
Enter number: 153
Remainder=3 power=27 sum= 27
Remainder=5 power=124 sum= 151
Remainder=1 power=1 sum= 152
153 is not an Armstrong number of order 3.

Where the problem comes:- For 5^3 it gives result 124

It happens only for the number 153. For other numbers, it works fine.

Conclusion:- If you are using Code:: Blocks IDE then instead of using the pre-defined pow() function of math.h header file, write your own user-defined function to calculate the power of the number.

C program to Check Armstrong Number of order N

 #include<stdio.h>
 #include<math.h>
 int main()
 {
      int number, temp, n, remainder, sum=0;

      printf("Enter number: ");
      scanf("%d", &number);

      printf("Enter order: ");
      scanf("%d", &n);

      temp = number;
      while( number != 0 )
      {
          remainder = number%10;
          sum += pow(remainder, n); //sum=sum+pow(remainder,n)
          number /= 10; //number=number/10
      }

      if(temp == sum)
          printf("%d is an Armstrong number of order %d.\n",temp,n);
      else
          printf("%d is not an Armstrong number of order %d.\n",temp,n);

      return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter number: 153
Enter order: 3
153 is an Armstrong number of order 3.

Enter number: 153
Enter order: 5
153 is not an Armstrong number of order 5.

Enter number: 4150
Enter order: 5
4150 is an Armstrong number of order 5.

If you are using Linux/Unix OS and getting an error due to pow() function then read it “undefined reference to sqrt (or other mathematical functions)” even include math.h header

Check Armstrong number of order N in a given range

 #include<stdio.h>
 #include<math.h>
 int main()
 {
      int min, max, order;
      int temp, remainder, sum;

      printf("Enter min & max value of the range: ");
      scanf("%d %d",&min, &max);

      printf("Enter the order to check: ");
      scanf("%d", &order);

      printf("The Armstrong number of order %d are:\n", order);

      for(int i=min; i<=max; i++)
      {
        temp = i;
        sum = 0;

        while( temp != 0 )
        {
            remainder = temp%10;
            sum += pow(remainder, order);
            temp /= 10;
        }

        if(i == sum) printf("%d\t", i);
      }

      return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter min & max value of the range: 1 1000
Enter the order to check: 3
The Armstrong number of order 3 are:
1 153 370 371 407

Enter min & max value of the range: 1 10000
Enter the order to check: 5
The Armstrong number of order 5 are:
1 4150 4151
