Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Note: the original location of this article is on my blog, however, it is posted here too for better readability.

In this article, we will see how to use Core Data for accessing your API. We will use the Bandcamp API as our running example. I've only been experimenting with this code for a few days, so there might be mistakes in there.

Implementation of the Luhn 10 algorithm to check validity of credit card numbers. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm for details on the algorithm.

var validCreditCard = function(a,b,c,d,e){for(d=+a[b=a.length-1],e=0;b--;)c=+a[b],d+=++e%2?2*c%10+(c>4):c;return!(d%10)};

validCreditCard('378282246310005'); //=> true
validCreditCard('378282246310006'); //=> false

// some numbers to test with
// 378282246310005 371449635398431 378734493671000
