In today’s video tutorial lets find all the Armstrong numbers or Narcissistic numbers between user entered range, using function / method.
An Armstrong number or Narcissistic number is an n-digit base b number such that the sum of its (base b) digits raised to the power n is the number itself.
Example 1:
If number = 370
It has 3 digits: 3, 7 and 0. So n = 3.
result = 33 + 73 + 03 = 27 + 343 + 0 = 370.
So the original number 370 is equal to the result. So it’s an Armstrong Number.
Example 2:
If number = 8208
It has 4 digits: 8, 2, 0 and 8. So n = 4.
result = 84 + 24 + 04 + 84 = 4096 + 16 + 0 + 4096 = 8208.
So the original number 8208 is equal to the result. So it’s an Armstrong Number.

To count number of digits in a number
int n = 0, temp; temp = num; while(temp) { temp = temp / 10; n++; }
To Iterate through the digits in the number
while(num) { rem = num % 10; sum = sum + pow(rem, n); num = num / 10; }
To know above code logic, please visit and watch the video tutorial present at C Program to Check Armstrong Number.

Logic To Find Armstrong Numbers Between Range using Function
We ask the user to enter start and end value i.e., the range. Using for loop we iterate through all the numbers between start and end. For each iteration of for loop, variable count holds the number which we need to check if its Armstrong number or not.
Value of count is passed to function armstrong. Function armstrong counts the number of digits present in the integer number(we store it inside variable n) and then multiplies all the individual digits of the number by n and adds them. The sum is returned back to the calling function.
If value present in count and the value returned by armstrong method are equal, then the value present in count is an Armstrong number and will be displayed on the console window.
