C Exercises: Generate and show the first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers

C Numbers: Exercise-10 with Solution

Write a program in C to generate and show the first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() 
{
    printf("\n\n Find the first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers: \n");
    printf(" -----------------------------------------------------\n");
    printf(" The first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers are: \n");

    int i, ctr, j, orn, n, m, sum;
    orn = 1; // Initialize the original number to check

    for (i = 1; i <= 15;) // Loop to find the first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers
    {
        ctr = 0; // Initialize digit counter for each number
        sum = 0; // Initialize sum of digits raised to power 'ctr'

        n = orn; // Assign original number to 'n'

        // Count the number of digits in the number 'n'
        while (n > 0) 
        {
            n = n / 10;
            ctr++;
        }

        n = orn; // Reset 'n' to the original number

        // Calculate the sum of digits raised to power 'ctr'
        while (n > 0) 
        {
            m = n % 10; // Extract individual digits
            sum = sum + pow(m, ctr); // Add the digit raised to the power 'ctr' to 'sum'
            n = n / 10; // Move to the next digit
        }

        // Check if the sum of digits raised to power 'ctr' equals the original number
        if (sum == orn) 
        {
            printf("%d ", orn); // Print the narcissistic number
            i++; // Increment the count of narcissistic numbers found
        }
        orn++; // Move to the next number to check
    }

    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}

Sample Output:

 The first 15 narcissistic decimal numbers are:
