Python: Check Whether a Number is an Armstrong Number

Document 对象参考手册Python3 Examples

An Armstrong number is an n-digit number whose sum of the n-th powers of its digits equals the number itself. For example, 153 is an Armstrong number because 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153.

Example

def is_narcissistic_number(num):
    # Convert the number to a string to access each digit individually
    num_str = str(num)
    # Get the number of digits
    n = len(num_str)
    # Calculate the sum of the n-th powers of each digit
    sum_of_powers = sum(int(digit) ** n for digit in num_str)
    # Check if it equals the original number
    return sum_of_powers == num

# Test
number = 153
if is_narcissistic_number(number):
    print(f"{number} is an Armstrong number")
else:
    print(f"{number} is not an Armstrong number")

Code analysis:

  1. num_str = str(num): Convert the input number to a string to access each digit individually.
  2. n = len(num_str): Get the number of digits.
  3. sum_of_powers = sum(int(digit) ** n for digit in num_str): Calculate the sum of the n-th powers of each digit.
  4. return sum_of_powers == num: Determine whether the calculated sum equals the original number. If true, returnTrue, otherwise returnFalse。

Output result:

153 是水仙花数
