Python Program to Check Armstrong Number

In this example, we will write a simple program to take input number from the user and display whether the number is Armstrong number or not. To better understand this example, make sure you have knowledge of the following tutorials:-

• Python while Loop Statements
• Python if…else Statement

Python Program to Check Armstrong Number for 3 digits

number = int(input("Enter a number: "))

sum = 0

temp = number
while temp > 0:
   digit = temp % 10
   sum += digit ** 3
   temp //= 10

if number == sum:
   print(number, "is an Armstrong number")
else:
   print(number, "is not an Armstrong number")

The output of the above program is:-

Output 1

Output 2

Python Program to Check Armstrong Number for n digits

number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
order = len(str(number))

sum = 0

temp = number
while temp > 0:
   digit = temp % 10
   sum += digit ** order
   temp //= 10

if number == sum:
   print(number, "is an Armstrong number")
else:
   print(number, "is not an Armstrong number")

The output of the above program is:-

Output 1

Output 2

Program Explanation

The user provides the input for the number to check for the Armstrong number. We can use the len() function to get the order of number. Each number gets multiplied with order value using modulus operator(%) within the while loop. Finally, if the sum is equal to the number, then it is an Armstrong number.
