Class Armstrong

src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/maths/Armstrong.java:15–39

This class checks whether a given number is an Armstrong number or not. An Armstrong number is a number that is equal to the sum of its own digits, each raised to the power of the number of digits. For example, 370 is an Armstrong number because 3^3 + 7^3 + 0^3 = 370. 1634 is an Armstrong number be
