You Narcissist!

Using the definition of the numbers given in the problem:

This problem is asking for the sum of every 4 digit narcissistic number. My program iterates through every four digit number, checks if it's narcissistic, and if it is it adds it to the sum.

Python:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11

def narcissist(n):
    total = 0
    s = str(n)
    for digit in s:
        total += int(digit)**len(s)
    return total == n
total = 0
for n in xrange(1000,10000):
    if narcissist(n):
        total += n
print "Answer:", total
