Here is a C program to generate armstrong numbers. A number is called an Armstrong number if the sum of cubes of every digit is equal to the number itself. Given a number N, we have to generate a list of all Armstrong numbers between 0 and N.
For Example
407 is an Armstrong number407 = 4*4*4 + 0*0*0 + 7*7*7
121 is not an Armstrong number
121 is not equal to 1*1*1 + 2*2*2 + 1*1*1
Examples of Armstrong Numbers : 0, 1, 2, 3, 153, 370, 407 etc.
Algorithm to Generate Armstrong number
- Take a number as input from user and store it in number variable.
- Then using for loop we iterate from 0 till N using a counter variable.
- Find the cubic sum of digits of counter, and store it in sum variable.
- Compare counter and sum.
- If both are equal then current number(counter) is Armstrong number otherwise not an Armstrong number.
C program to generate armstrong numbers between 0 and N
This program first takes a number as input from user using scanf function and stores it in variable 'number'. Then using a for loop, it perform armstrong number check for every number from 0 to 'number'. It calculates the cube of every digit of counter using getCubicSumOfDigits function and stores in a 'sum' variable. If sum is equal to number then it is an Armstrong number otherwise not an Armstrong number.
#include <stdio.h>
int getCubicSumOfDigits(int number);
int main(){
int number, sum, counter;
printf("Enter a number : ");
scanf("%d", &number);
for(counter = 0; counter <= number; counter++){
sum = getCubicSumOfDigits(counter);
if(sum == counter){
printf("%d\n", counter);
}
}
return 0;
}
int getCubicSumOfDigits(int number){
int lastDigit, sum = 0;
while(number != 0){
lastDigit = number%10;
sum = sum + lastDigit*lastDigit*lastDigit;
number = number/10;
}
return sum;
}
Output
Enter a number : 10000 0 1 153 370 371 407
