Write a function to determine if a number is divisible by 13. Similar to the number seven, this can be done by a few different methods:<ol><li>Form the alternating sum of blocks of three (separated at the comma locations). Apply this recursively until a three-digit number remains. If this number is divisible by 13, then so is the original number. This three-digit number can also be further reduced using one of the other methods below.</li><li>Add four times the last digit to the remaining number. Apply recursively until a two-digit number remains. As before, if this number is divisible by 13, then so is the original number.</li><li>Similar to the previous method, multiply the last digit by nine and subtract it from the remaining number. Apply recursion, etc.</li></ol>Some of the function restrictions have been lifted.Previous problem: <a href = "http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/42414-divisible-by-12">divisible by 12</a>.
