/**
 * You are given a number n. You need to find the digital root of n.
 * DigitalRoot of a number is the recursive sum of its digits until we get a single digit number.
 *
 * Test Case 1:
 * Input:
 * n = 1
 * Output:  1
 * Explanation: Digital root of 1 is 1
 *
 * Test Case 2:
 * Input:
 * n = 99999
 * Output: 9
 * Explanation: Sum of digits of 99999 is 45
 * which is not a single digit number, hence
 * sum of digit of 45 is 9 which is a single
 * digit number.

/**
 * Algorithm :
 * Step 1 : Define a method digitalRoot(int n)
 * Step 2 : Define another method single(int n)
 * Step 3 : digitalRoot(int n) method takes output of single(int n) as input
 * if(single(int n) <= 9)
 * return single(n)
 * else
 * return digitalRoot(single(n))
 * Step 4 : single(int n) calculates the sum of digits of number n recursively
 * if(n<=9)
 * return n;
 * else
 * return (n%10) + (n/10)
 * Step 5 : In main method simply take n as input and then call digitalRoot(int n) function and
 * print the result
