An “Armstrong number” is an n-digit number that is equal to the sum of the 00 1,2 1,2,4 1,7
nth powers of its individual digits. For example, 153 is an Armstrong number
10. because it has 3 digits and 13+ 53+33 =153. Similarly 1634 is an Armstrong
number because it has 4 digits and 14+ 64+34 + 44 = 1634. Write a program
to find whether the entered number is Armstrong or not using While Loop.
11. Write a menu driven program which has following options: 02 1,2 1,2,4 1,7
