A Narcissistic Number is a number which is the sum of its own digits, each raised to the power of the number of digits.

For example, take 153 (3 digits):

1³ + 5³ + 3³ = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153

1634:

1⁴ + 6⁴ + 3⁴ + 4⁴ = 1 + 1296 + 81 + 256 = 1634

The Challenge:

Your code must take input from the user and output True or False depending upon whether the given number is a Narcissistic Number.

Error checking for text strings or other invalid inputs is not required. 1 or 0 for the output is acceptable. Code that simply generates a list of Narcissistic Numbers, or checks the user input against a list, does not qualify.

A Narcissistic Number is a number which is the sum of its own digits, each raised to the power of the number of digits.

For example, take \$153\$ (3 digits):

\$1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153\$

\$1634\$:

\$1^4 + 6^4 + 3^4 + 4^4 = 1634 = 1 + 1296 + 81 + 256 = 1634\$

The Challenge:

Your code must take input from the user and output True or False depending upon whether the given number is a Narcissistic Number.

Error checking for text strings or other invalid inputs is not required. 1 or 0 for the output is acceptable. Code that simply generates a list of Narcissistic Numbers, or checks the user input against a hardcoded list, does not qualify.
