+/**
+ * @file
+ * @brief A simple program to check if the given number is a magic number or
+ * not. A number is said to be a magic number, if the sum of its digits are
+ * calculated till a single digit recursively by adding the sum of the digits
+ * after every addition. If the single digit comes out to be 1,then the number
+ * is a magic number.
+ *
+ * This is a shortcut method to verify Magic Number.
+ * On dividing the input by 9, if the remainder is 1 then the number is a magic
+ * number else not. The divisibility rule of 9 says that a number is divisible
+ * by 9 if the sum of its digits are also divisible by 9. Therefore, if a number
+ * is divisible by 9, then, recursively, all the digit sums are also divisible
+ * by 9. The final digit sum is always 9. An increase of 1 in the original
+ * number will increase the ultimate value by 1, making it 10 and the ultimate
+ * sum will be 1, thus verifying that it is a magic number.
