The Luhn algorithm (or "modulus 10") is a simple checksum formula used to validate identification numbers like credit cards and IMEI codes. It is designed to catch accidental input errors, such as mistyped digits.
Algo Logic:
To calculate or validate using the Luhn formula:
- Double every second digit starting from the rightmost digit (the check digit) and moving left.
- Sum the digits if any doubled product is greater than 9 (e.g., if (6 \times 2 = 12), add (1+2=3)).
- Alternatively, subtract 9.Sum all numbers (both the untouched digits and the newly modified doubled digits).
