Program to Check Armstrong Number in Java

public class ArmstrongFinder {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int number = 489, originalNumber, remainder, result = 0;
 
        originalNumber = number;
 
        while (originalNumber != 0)
        {
            remainder = originalNumber % 10;
            result += Math.pow(remainder, 3);
            originalNumber /= 10;
        }
 
        if(result == number)
            System.out.println(number + " is an Armstrong number.");
        else
            System.out.println(number + " is not an Armstrong number.");
    }
}

489 is not an Armstrong number.

• This program is used for checking that whether a 3-digit number is an Armstrong number or not by using a for loop.
• Three digit integer variables are initiated as number = 489, originalNumber, remainder and result = 0.
• Initially, the value of number is stored into the variable originalNumber. This is done because the original number and the result are compared at the end.
•  A while loop is set which will hold the condition that the loop will continue until the value of originalNumber becomes zero (originalNumber != 0).
• In the body of the while loop, the originalNumber is divided by 10 and its remainder is stored in the variable remainder which means removing the last digit of the number.
• Then the value of the remainder will be powered by 3, which is the number of the digits of the originalNumber, by using a Java math function (Math.pow()) and added into the variable result.  
• In the end of the loop, the number is divided by 10 in order to remove the last digit of originalNumber.
• After the loop exits, both the result and the number are compared. If both are equal, then the following message is printed: “’number’ is an Armstrong number.” Else it will print “’number’ is not an Armstrong number”.

public class ArmstrongFinder {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int number = 9474, originalNumber, remainder, result = 0, n = 0;
 
        originalNumber = number;
 
        for (;originalNumber != 0; originalNumber /= 10, ++n);
 
        originalNumber = number;
 
        for (;originalNumber != 0; originalNumber /= 10)
        {
            remainder = originalNumber % 10;
            result += Math.pow(remainder, n);
        }
 
        if(result == number)
            System.out.println(number + " is an Armstrong number.");
        else
            System.out.println(number + " is not an Armstrong number.");
    }
} 

9474 is an Armstrong number.

• This program is used to find out that whether a number having n-digits is an Armstrong number or not.
• Five integer variables are initiated as number = 9474, originalNumber, remainder, result = 0 and n = 0.
• Initially, the value of number is stored into the variable originalNumber. This is done because the original number and the result are compared at the end.
• This program uses two for loops instead of a single while loop used in the previous program.
• The first for loop is used to find out the number of digits that make up the number. And then store the value in the variable n.
• Whereas, the second for loop is used to calculate the remainder of the number and the result by powering the remainder with the number of digits n in every iteration.
• The last digit of the number is removed within the for loop and in the end, both the result and the number are compared. If both are equal, then the following message is printed: “’number’ is an Armstrong number.”. Else it will print “’number’ is not an Armstrong number”.
