C++ Program To Check Armstrong Number

Last Updated : 21 Jun, 2023

Given a number x, determine whether the given number is Armstrong’s number or not. A positive integer of n digits is called an Armstrong number of order n (order is a number of digits) if:

abcd... = pow(a,n) + pow(b,n) + pow(c,n) + pow(d,n) + ....

Examples:

Input: 153
Output: Yes
153 is an Armstrong number.
1*1*1 + 5*5*5 + 3*3*3 = 153

Input: 120
Output: No
120 is not a Armstrong number.
1*1*1 + 2*2*2 + 0*0*0 = 9

Input: 1253
Output: No
1253 is not a Armstrong Number
1*1*1*1 + 2*2*2*2 + 5*5*5*5 + 3*3*3*3 = 723

Input: 1634
Output: Yes
1*1*1*1 + 6*6*6*6 + 3*3*3*3 + 4*4*4*4 = 1634

Methods to Check Armstrong Number

There are certain methods to check if a number is mentioned below:

1. Simple Approach

The idea is to first count the number of digits (or find the order). Let the number of digits be n. For every digit r in input number x, compute rⁿ. If the sum of all such values is equal to n, then return true, else false.

Below is the C++ program to implement the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to determine whether
// the number is Armstrong number
// or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate x
// raised to the power y
int power(int x, unsigned int y)
{
    if (y == 0)
        return 1;
    if (y % 2 == 0)
        return (power(x, y / 2) * power(x, y / 2));
 
    return (x * power(x, y / 2) * power(x, y / 2));
}
 
// Function to calculate
// order of the number
int order(int x)
{
    int n = 0;
    while (x) {
        n++;
        x = x / 10;
    }
    return n;
}
 
// Function to check whether the
// given number is Armstrong number
// or not
bool isArmstrong(int x)
{
    // Calling order function
    int n = order(x);
    int temp = x, sum = 0;
 
    while (temp) {
        int r = temp % 10;
        sum += power(r, n);
        temp = temp / 10;
    }
 
    // If satisfies Armstrong
    // condition
    return (sum == x);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int x = 153;
    cout << boolalpha << isArmstrong(x) << endl;
 
    x = 1253;
    cout << boolalpha << isArmstrong(x) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

true
false

The complexity of the above method

Time Complexity: O(log₂ n) + O((log₁₀ n)*(log₂ d)), where n is the number to be checked and d is the number of digits in the input number.

Space Complexity: O(log₂ d), where d is the number of digits.

2. Efficient Approach

The above approach can also be implemented in a shorter way:

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 153;
    int temp = n;
    int p = 0;
 
    // Function to calculate
    // the sum of individual digits
    while (n > 0) {
        int rem = n % 10;
        p = (p) + (rem * rem * rem);
        n = n / 10;
    }
 
    // Condition to check whether
    // the value of P equals
    // to user input or not.
    if (temp == p) {
        cout << ("Yes. It is Armstrong No.");
    }
    else {
        cout << ("No. It is not an Armstrong No.");
    }
    return 0;
}

Output:

Yes. It is Armstrong No.

The complexity of the above method

Time Complexity: The time complexity of the given program is O(d), where ‘d’ is the number of digits in the input number ‘n’. This is because the while loop runs for ‘d’ iterations, performing constant time operations in each iteration.

Auxiliary Space: The space complexity of the program is O(1) because only a few integer variables are being used and no additional space is required for arrays, lists, or other data structures.

3. Find the n^th Armstrong Number

Examples:

Input: 9
Output: 9

Input: 10
Output : 153

Below is the C++ program to find the nth Armstrong number:

C++

// C++ Program to find Nth
// Armstrong Number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find Nth
// Armstrong Number
int NthArmstrong(int n)
{
    int count = 0;
 
    // Upper limit from integer
    for (int i = 1; i <= INT_MAX; i++) {
        int num = i, rem, digit = 0, sum = 0;
 
        // Copy the value for num in num
        num = i;
 
        // Find total digits in num
        digit = (int)log10(num) + 1;
 
        // Calculate sum of power of digits
        while (num > 0) {
            rem = num % 10;
            sum = sum + pow(rem, digit);
            num = num / 10;
        }
        // Check for Armstrong number
        if (i == sum)
            count++;
        if (count == n)
            return i;
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 12;
    cout << NthArmstrong(n);
    return 0;
}

Output:

C++ Program To Find Sum of First N Natural Numbers
