Neat. You could replace the |while| loop with |sprintf|: this is a more robust way of getting the digits. Also the final |if| statement is totally superfluous, the function really should just return the _logical_ value of |sumd==s|.

Just for fun, here is the same same functionality in just two lines:

>> fun = @(s)sum((s-'0').^numel(s));
>> isarm = @(n)n==fun(sprintf('%lu',n));
>> isarm(0)
ans =
1
>> isarm(1)
ans =
1
>> isarm(153)
ans =
1
>> isarm(154)
ans =
0
