+ * Armstrong Number Checker in C++
+ *
+ * An Armstrong number (narcissistic number) is a number equal to the sum of
+ * its digits raised to the power of the number of digits.
+ *
+ * Example: 153 -> 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153
+ *
+ * This implementation is beginner-friendly, with interactive input and tests.
