credit card validator problem
Posted 05 April 2013 - 05:30 PM
this is the famous credit card validator using the luhn algorithm... my code is not finished but i'm really close and i've hit bump. i keep getting NaN from my sum of even indexed array values (s1). i'm actually not even sure if i'm doing it correctly. what's wrong with it?
Is This A Good Question/Topic?

I don't know. You will have to take some credit-card numbers, work out the correct numbers for them, and walk through your code. Use alerts or console.log() to assist. There are links for consoles in my signature, and you would benefit if you learnt how to set a breakpoint and step through your code.
BTW I would remove all non-numbers, and then check the length of the remaining value, before performing these calculations.

var modifiedNumber = ccNumber.replace(/[^0-9]/g, "");
