Before going to write the C# program to check whether the number is Armstrong or not, let's understand what is Armstrong number.
Armstrong number is a number that is equal to the sum of cubes of its digits. For example 0, 1, 153, 370, 371 and 407 are the Armstrong numbers.
Let's try to understand why 371 is an Armstrong number.
371 = (3*3*3)+(7*7*7)+(1*1*1) where: (3*3*3)=27 (7*7*7)=343 (1*1*1)=1 So: 27+343+1=371
using System;
public class ArmstrongExample
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
int n,r,sum=0,temp;
Console.Write("Enter the Number= ");
n= int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
temp=n;
while(n>0)
{
r=n%10;
sum=sum+(r*r*r);
n=n/10;
}
if(temp==sum)
Console.Write("Armstrong Number.");
else
Console.Write("Not Armstrong Number.");
}
}
Output 1:
Enter the Number= 371
Armstrong Number.
Output 2:
Enter the Number= 342
Not Armstrong Number.
First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
