magic.constant

Magic constant of a magic square or hypercube

Returns the magic constant: that is, the common sum for all rows, columns and (broken) diagonals of a magic square or hypercube

magic.constant(n,d=2,start=1)

`n`	Order of the square or hypercube
`d`	Dimension of hypercube, defaulting to `d=2` (a square)
`start`	Start value. Common values are 0 and 1

If n is an integer, interpret this as the order of the square or hypercube; return n(start+n^d-1)/2.

If n is a square or hypercube, return the magic constant for a normal array (starting at 1) of the same dimensions as n.
