Problem Statement
Class Name: Numerology Method Name: getMagicNumber Parameters: String Returns: int Implement a class Numerology, which contains a method getMagicNumber. getMagicNumber takes a String that is a person's name and returns a "magic number" based upon that person's name. Here is the method signature: public int getMagicNumber(String strName); * The input is a String of length 1 to 50, inclusive. * The input contains characters A-Z, a-z, and spaces only. The "magic number" is computed in the following manner: - Each letter (regardless of case) of the name is given a value according to its position in the alphabet. Thus, "A" has a value of 1 because it is the 1st letter of the alphabet, and "Z" has a value of 26 because it is the 26th letter of the alphabet. - The name is given a total value based upon the sum of the values of the letters (ignore spaces) in it. Thus, the name "Joe" would have a value of 10+15+5, which is 30. - The digits of the total value are summed until the sum is less than 10. So, a total value of 128 is summed to 11 (1+2+8), and 11 is summed to give 2 (1+1). This is the magic number returned. Examples (quotes are for clarity ONLY): "Mandy Dean Thompson" has a magic number of 3. (201 = 2+1 = 3) "Nate Tina Tanner" has a magic number of 3. (156 = 1+5+6 = 12 = 1+2 = 3) "Paul Tim Brown" has a magic number of 2. (164 = 1+6+4 = 11 = 1+1 = 2) "Ralph Amber Black" has a magic number of 6. (123 = 1+2+3 = 6) "Bill Susan Burton" has a magic number of 1. (199 = 1+9+9 = 19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1+0 = 1)
