Hi everyone, I’m still stuck on this problem after days of trying to fix it. Here’s the link to the exercise: Credit Card Checker Link.
Here are the instructions for this section of the code:
- Starting from the farthest digit to the right, AKA the check digit, iterate to the left.
- As you iterate to the left, every other digit is doubled (the check digit is not doubled). If the number is greater than
9
after doubling, subtract9
from its value. - Sum up all the digits in the credit card number.
- If the sum modulo
10
is0
(if the sum divided by10
has a remainder of0
) then the number is valid, otherwise, it’s invalid.
I’ve been logging to the console after each step so I know the calculations are correct, the correct digits are doubled and are not doubled etc but I can’t figure out why the code is returning false when I enter a valid credit card number. I’d be so grateful for some help!!
// All valid credit card numbers

}
let combined =[].concat(newArray, array[j]);
for (var j = array.length - 1; j >= 0; j -=2)
{
if (combined.reduce((prv, cur) => prv + cur) % 10 === 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
console.log(validateCred(valid1))
