Before going to the program first let us understand what is a Armstrong Number?

Armstrong Number:

                            An Armstrong number of three digits is an integer such that the sum of the cubes of its digits is equal to the number itself.

In other word A number is Armstrong if it is equal the sum of cube of its digits.”

For example,

                371 is an Armstrong number because 33 + 73 + 13 = 27 + 343 + 1 = 371

                431 is not an Armstrong number because 43 + 33 + 13= 64 + 27 + 1 = 92

Program code for Armstrong Number or Not in C:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h> void main()
{ int n,num,r,ans=0; clrscr(); printf("Enter a positive integer: "); scanf("%d", &#); n=num; /* Loop to calculate the sum of the cubes of its digits */ do { r=n%10; ans=ans+r*r*r; n=n/10; }while(n>0); /* if else condition to print Armstrong or Not */ if(ans==num) { printf("%d is an Armstrong number.",num); } else { printf("%d is not an Armstrong number.",num); } getch();
}

Working:

  • First the computer reads the positive integer value from the user.
  • Then using do-while loop it calculates the sum of the cubes of its digits.
  • Finally if else condition is used to print the number is Armstrong or Not .

Step by Step working of the above Program Code:

For Armstrong Number:

  1. Let us assume that a user enters the positive integer value as 153.
  2. It assigns the value of ans=0, num=153.
  3. It assigns the value of n=num(ie. n=153) and the loop continues till the condition of the do-while loop is true.

3.1.    do

r=n%10         (r=153%10)       So  r=3

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=0+3*3*3)       So  ans=27

n=n/10          (n=153/10)      So  n=15

n>0  (15>0)  do-while loop condition is true

3.2.    do

r=n%10         (r=15%10)       So  r=5

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=9+5*5*5)       So  ans=152

n=n/10          (n=15/10)      So  n=1

n>0  (1>0)  do-while loop condition is true

3.3.    do

r=n%10         (r=1%10)       So  r=1

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=152+1*1*1)       So  ans=153

n=n/10          (n=1/10)      So  n=0

n>0  (0>0)  do-while loop condition is false

3.4.    It comes out of the do-while loop and checks whether the number is Armstrong or not.

  1. ans==num  (153==153)   if condition is true

It prints 153 is an Armstrong number.

  1. Thus program execution is completed.

For Not an Armstrong Number:

  1. Let us assume that a user enters the positive integer value as 431.
  2. It assigns the value of ans=0, num=431.
  3. It assigns the value of n=num(ie. n=431) and the loop continues till the condition of the do-while loop is true.

3.1.    do

r=n%10         (r=431%10)       So  r=1

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=0+1*1*1)       So  ans=1

n=n/10          (n=431/10)      So  n=43

n>0  (43>0)  do-while loop condition is true

3.2.    do

r=n%10         (r=43%10)       So  r=3

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=1+3*3*3)       So  ans=28

n=n/10          (n=43/10)      So  n=4

n>0  (4>0)  do-while loop condition is true

3.3.    do

r=n%10         (r=4%10)       So  r=4

ans=ans+r*r*r     (ans=28+4*4*4)       So  ans=92

n=n/10          (n=4/10)      So  n=0

n>0  (0>0)  do-while loop condition is false

3.4.    It comes out of the do-while loop and checks whether the number is Armstrong or not.

  1. ans==num  (92==431)   if condition is true

It prints 431 is not an Armstrong number.

  1. Thus program execution is completed.

Output:

armstrong number

armstrong number
