    clrscr();
    printf("enter a number");
    scanf("%d",&n);
    n1=n;
    while(n!=0)
    {
        rem=n%10;
        cube=pow(rem,3);
        sum=sum+cube;
        n=n/10;
    }

Re: Armstrong number check

You are printing the wrong output.

Code:

    if(sum==n1)

        printf("angstrom");

    else

        printf("not angstrom");

It should be armstrong number and not angstrom. For those who dont know what it is.

Armstrong number: An n-digit number equal to the sum of the nth powers of its digits.
There are no two-digit Armstrong numbers; and there are four three-digit Armstrong numbers: 153, 370, 371, and 407.
1x1x1 + 5x5x5 + 3x3x3 = 153

Re: Armstrong number check

I have read the above program and try to understand it but i cannot understand all. I only can calculate the 53 without the 1 and 370 without the 3. I don't know why. Your explanations is greatly appreciated by me and others.

n=n/10; -- Is it the 153 calculate 3 first, then 5 and finally 1.

Sorry for my stupidness.

Your help is greatly appreciated by me an others.
