1 Write a Java program given the following specification and
provide comments which explain how your algorithm works.
Problem Statement
The task is to take in a credit card number, and find out if it is a
valid credit card number or not. Credit card numbers follow an
algorithm called Luhn's algorithm.
The formula verifies a number against its check digit, which is
the last digit. This number must pass the following test:
From the rightmost digit, which is the check digit, and moving
left, double the value of every second digit. If the result of this
doubling operation is greater than 9(e.g.,82=16), then add
the digits together (e.g.,16:1+6=7,18:1+8=9).
Take the sum of all the digits.
If the total modulo 10 is equal to 0(if the total ends in zero)
then the number is valid according to the Luhn formula; else it is
not valid.
Assume an example of an account number "7992739871" that
will have a check digit added, making it of the form
7992739871x. The sum of all the digits, processed as per steps
1 and 2, is 67+x. Thus x must be 3 to bring the total to be
modulo 10=0. If x is not 3, then this is not a valid credit card
number.
Input Format
An n-digit credit card number, where the last digit is the check
digit.
Output Format
Output "VALID" if it is a valid credit card number and "INVALID"
if it is not.
