Write a C program to enter any number and print all Armstrong numbers between 1 to n. How to print Armstrong numbers between given interval using loop in C program. Logic to generate Armstrong numbers in given range in C program.
Example
Input
Enter lower limit: 1 Enter upper limit: 1000
Output
Armstrong number between 1 to 1000 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 370, 371, 407
Required knowledge
Basic C programming, For loop, Nested loop, If else
What is Armstrong number?
An Armstrong number is an n
-digit number that is equal to the sum of the n
th powers of its digits. Read more about Armstrong numbers. Below are few examples of Armstrong numbers:
6 = 61 = 6
371 = 33 + 73 + 13 = 371
Logic to generate Armstrong number from 1 to n
Below is the step by step descriptive logic to generate Armstrong numbers:
- Read upper limit to generate Armstrong number from user. Store it in some variable say end.
- Run a loop from 1 to end, incrementing 1 in each iteration. The loop structure should look like for(i=1; i<=end; i++). This loop will iterate through n numbers. Inside this loop I will check each number for Armstrong number.
- Inside the loop print the current number if it is Armstrong number. Read the below post for details about checking Armstrong number.
Program to generate Armstrong numbers from 1 to n
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main() { int num, lastDigit, digits, sum, i, end; /* * Read upper limit from user */ printf("Enter upper limit: "); scanf("%d", &end); printf("Armstrong number between 1 to %d are: \n", end); for(i=1; i<=end; i++) { sum = 0; // Copy the value of num for processing num = i; /* * Find total digits in num */ digits = (int) log10(num) + 1; /* * Calculate sum of power of digits */ while(num > 0) { // Extract the last digit lastDigit = num % 10; // Find sum sum = sum + pow(lastDigit, digits); // Remove the last digit num = num / 10; } // Check for Armstrong number if(i == sum) { printf("%d, ", i); } } return 0; }
So whats next now? Once you are done with generating Armstrong numbers from 1 to n. You can easily modify the logic to work it for given ranges. Below program generates Armstrong numbers in a given range.
Program to find Armstrong numbers in given range
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main() { int num, lastDigit, digits, sum, i; int start, end; /* * Read lower and upper limit from user */ printf("Enter lower limit: "); scanf("%d", &start); printf("Enter upper limit: "); scanf("%d", &end); printf("Armstrong number between %d to %d are: \n", start, end); for(i=start; i<=end; i++) { sum = 0; // Copy the value of num for processing num = i; /* * Find total digits in num */ digits = (int) log10(num) + 1; /* * Calculate sum of power of digits */ while(num > 0) { // Extract the last digit lastDigit = num % 10; // Find sum sum = sum + pow(lastDigit, digits); // Remove the last digit num = num / 10; } // Check for Armstrong number if(i == sum) { printf("%d, ", i); } } return 0; }
Enter lower limit: 1 Enter upper limit: 10000 Armstrong number between 1 to 10000 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 370, 371, 407, 1634, 8208, 9474,
Happy coding ;)
