Narcissistic number
A narcissistic number is a number that is special because it loves itself very much! When a number is a narcissistic number, it means that it is equal to the sum of its own digits when those digits are raised to the power of how many digits there are.
Let's use the number 153 as an example of a narcissistic number. This means that 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153!
It's kind of like if you were really proud of yourself for doing something, and then you added up all the parts of yourself that made that happen (like your arms, your legs, your brain, etc.) and raised them to the power of how many "parts" there were, and then added it all up again. That's how a narcissistic number works - it loves itself so much that it adds up all its parts and celebrates how great it is!
