C Program to Check Prime or Armstrong Number Using User-defined Function
In this example, you will learn to check whether an integer is a prime number or an Armstrong or both by creating two separate functions.
In this program, two user-defined functions checkPrimeNumber()
and checkArmstrongNumber()
are created.
The checkPrimeNumber()
function returns 1
if the number entered by the user is a prime number. Similarly, checkArmstrongNumber(
)
function also returns 1
if the number entered by the user is an Armstrong number.
Example: Check Prime and Armstrong
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int checkPrimeNumber(int n);
int checkArmstrongNumber(int n);
int main(){
int n, flag;
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
// check prime number
flag = checkPrimeNumber(n);
if (flag == 1)
printf("%d is a prime number.n", n);
else
printf("%d is not a prime number.n", n);
// check Armstrong number
flag = checkArmstrongNumber(n);
if (flag == 1)
printf("%d is an Armstrong number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not an Armstrong number.", n);
return 0;
}
// function to check prime number
int checkPrimeNumber(int n){
int i, flag = 1, squareRoot;
// computing the square root
squareRoot = sqrt(n);
for (i = 2; i <= squareRoot; ++i) {
// condition for non-prime number
if (n % i == 0) {
flag = 0;
break;
}
}
return flag;
}
// function to check Armstrong number
int checkArmstrongNumber(int num){
int originalNum, remainder, n = 0, flag;
double result = 0.0;
// store the number of digits of num in n
for (originalNum = num; originalNum != 0; ++n) {
originalNum /= 10;
}
for (originalNum = num; originalNum != 0; originalNum /= 10) {
remainder = originalNum % 10;
// store the sum of the power of individual digits in result
result += pow(remainder, n);
}
// condition for Armstrong number
if (round(result) == num)
flag = 1;
else
flag = 0;
return flag;
}
Output
Enter a positive integer: 407 407 is not a prime number. 407 is an Armstrong number.
