# Program to print Armstrong numbers in a range

start = int(input("Enter start of range: "))
end = int(input("Enter end of range: "))

for num in range(start, end + 1):
    digits = str(num)
    power = len(digits)
    total = 0
    for d in digits:
        total += int(d) ** power
    if total == num:
        print(num)
Terminal Output
Enter start of range: 1
Enter end of range: 500

Understanding Armstrong Numbers in Range

We extend the Armstrong number logic to every number in the range and print those that satisfy the condition.

Note: To write and run Python programs, you need to set up the local environment on your computer. Refer to the complete article Setting up Python Development Environment. If you do not want to set up the local environment on your computer, you can also use online IDE to write and run your Python programs.

Practical Learning Notes for Armstrong Numbers in Range

This Python program is part of the "Loop Programs" topic and is designed to help you build real problem-solving confidence, not just memorize syntax. Start by understanding the goal of the program in plain language, then trace the logic line by line with a custom input of your own. Once you can predict the output before running the code, your understanding becomes much stronger.

A reliable practice pattern is to run the original version first, then modify only one condition or variable at a time. Observe how that single change affects control flow and output. This deliberate style helps you understand loops, conditions, and data movement much faster than copying full solutions repeatedly.

For interview preparation, explain this solution in three layers: the high-level approach, the step-by-step execution, and the time-space tradeoff. If you can teach these three layers clearly, you are ready to solve close variations of this problem under time pressure.
