Implement function to check Armstrong numbers with examples.

Describe your change:

This adds a function to check if a given integer is an Armstrong number (also known as a narcissistic number). The function works for all non-negative integers and correctly handles edge cases like 0 and 1. Negative numbers are not considered Armstrong numbers.
The algorithm iterates over the digits of the number, raises each digit to the power of the number of digits, and sums them to check if the sum equals the original number.

It includes:

  • Type hints for input and output
  • Clear docstrings with examples and edge cases
  • Doctests that pass all tests
  • No external libraries used
  • Follows PEP8 naming conventions
  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
  • Documentation change?
