📊 How It Works

The card-number-verifier operates using the Luhn Algorithm, a straightforward method designed to identify mistakes in numbers. Here’s a brief rundown of how it functions:

1. Check Length: The algorithm first checks that the number has the standard length—typically 13 to 19 digits for card numbers.
2. Reverse the Digits: It reverses the order of the digits.
3. Double Every Second Digit: From the right, every second digit is doubled. If doubling results in a number greater than 9, subtract 9 from that number.
4. Sum All Digits: Add all the digits together.
5. Validation: If the total is divisible by 10, the card number is valid.

This method is widely accepted in the financial industry and serves as an excellent starting point for learning about number validation.
