Programming Exercise 5.31 - Mod 10 check:
Credit card numbers follow certain patterns. A credit card number must have between 13 and 16 digits. It must start with:
In 1954, Hans Luhn of IBM proposed an algorithm for validating credit card numbers. The algorithm is useful to determine if a card number is entered correctly or if a credit card is scanned correctly by a scanner. Almost all credit card numbers are generated following this validity check, commonly known as the Luhn check or the Mod 10 check, which can be described as follows (for illustration, consider the card number 4388576018402625):
Write a program that begins with a credit card number as a long integer. Display whether the number is valid. Design your program to use the following methods:
/** Return true if the card number is valid */
public static boolean isValid(long number)
/** Extract a digit from the long*/
public static int separateDigit(long number, int position)
/* You can convert a long to a String and use String methods
OR
You can use modulus with division.*/
/** Get the result from Steps 1 and 2*/
public static int sumAndDoubleOfEvenPlace(long number)
/** Return this number if it is a single digit, otherwise, return the sum of the two digits */
public static int getAsOneDigit(int number)
/** Return sum of odd place digits in number, Step 3 */
public static int sumOfOddPlace(long number)
Feel free to add any other methods that you deem necessary!
