Need help with program

Ok so the assignment is:
"Write a program that asks for an integer input ‘n’ and print all integer numbers of n-digits for which the sum of the
digits of the number, to the power of three, is equal to the number itself.

For instance, for n=2, check all numbers in the range of 10 – 99. e.g 37 = 3^3+7^3"



And I'd like some help on how to do this with explanation.

Yours sincerely, fireflashx32

b49P23TIvg agrees: I agree that the comma of "number, to" implies that the equation should be pow((sum of digits of
n),3)==n . Confusing.

So what bit is confusing you?

- Reading in a number n ?
- counting from pow(10,n-1) to pow(10,n)-1 ?
- extracting digits from x ?
- calculating the sum of two cubes ?

Show us what steps you CAN achieve for yourself, then post a question about your code.

This isn't a homework dumping site.

Interesting problem. We might ask

Are there a finite number of such numbers?

How does the answer change if we express n in a different base?

Of course there's only a finite number: an n-digit number is at least 10^(n-1). The sum of the cubes of the digits is at most (9^3)*n = 729*n. If n is at least 5, then 10^(n-1) is always greater than 729*n (exercise for the reader). Therefore, all such numbers must have fewer than 5 digits, so there can be at most 10,000 such numbers, QED.
