Check Credit Card Validity using Luhn Algorithm

Question

I tried to check the validation of credit card using Luhn algorithm, which works as the following steps:

1. Double every second digit from right to left. If doubling of a digit results in a two-digit number, add up the two digits to get a single-digit number.

   2 * 2 = 4

   2 * 2 = 4

   4 * 2 = 8

   1 * 2 = 2

   6 * 2 = 12 (1 + 2 = 3)

   5 * 2 = 10 (1 + 0 = 1)

   8 * 2 = 16 (1 + 6 = 7)

   4 * 2 = 8

2. Now add all single-digit numbers from Step 1.

   4 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 7 + 8 = 37

3. Add all digits in the odd places from right to left in the card number.

   6 + 6 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 38

4. Sum the results from Step 2 and Step 3.

   37 + 38 = 75

5. If the result from Step 4 is divisible by 10, the card number is valid; otherwise, it is invalid. For example, the number 4388576018402626 is invalid, but the number 4388576018410707 is valid.

Simply, my program always displays valid for everything that I input. Even if it's a valid number and the result of sumOfOddPlace and sumOfDoubleEvenPlace methods are equal to zero.
Any help is appreciated.

            int secondDigit = (int) (number / 10);

You can freely import the following code:

public class Luhn
{
    public static boolean Check(String ccNumber)
    {
            int sum = 0;
            boolean alternate = false;
            for (int i = ccNumber.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                    int n = Integer.parseInt(ccNumber.substring(i, i + 1));
                    if (alternate)
                    {
                            n *= 2;
                            if (n > 9)
                            {
                                    n = (n % 10) + 1;
                            }
                    }
                    sum += n;
                    alternate = !alternate;
            }
            return (sum % 10 == 0);
    }
}

Google and Wikipedia are your friends. Instead of long-array I would use int-array. On Wikipedia following java code is published (together with detailed explanation of Luhn algorithm):

   public static boolean check(int[] digits) {
     int sum = 0;
     int length = digits.length;
     for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {

       // get digits in reverse order
       int digit = digits[length - i - 1];

       // every 2nd number multiply with 2
       if (i % 2 == 1) {
           digit *= 2;
       }
       sum += digit > 9 ? digit - 9 : digit;
     }
     return sum % 10 == 0;
   }

You should work on your input processing code. I suggest you to study following solution:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    boolean repeat;
    List<Integer> digits = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    do {
        repeat = false;
        System.out.print("Enter your Credit Card Number : ");
        String input = in.next();

        for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
            char c = input.charAt(i);
            if (c < '0' || c > '9') {
                repeat = true;
                digits.clear();
                break;
            } else {
                digits.add(Integer.valueOf(c - '0'));
            }
        }
    } while (repeat);

    int[] array = new int[digits.size()];
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        array[i] = Integer.valueOf(digits.get(i));
    }
    boolean valid = check(array);
    System.out.println("Valid: " + valid);
}

Answer 3

private static int luhnAlgorithm(String number){
    int n=0;
    for(int i = 0; i<number.length(); i++){
        int x = Integer.parseInt(""+number.charAt(i));
        n += (x*Math.pow(2, i%2))%10;
        if (x>=5 && i%2==1) n++;
    }
    return n%10;
}

Answer 4

I'll use 5 digit card numbers for simplicity. Let's say your card number is 12345; if I read the code correctly, you store in array the individual digits:

array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Since you already have the digits, in sumOfOddPlace you should do something like

public static int sumOfOddPlace(long[] array) {
    int result = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i += 2) {
        result += array[i];
    }
    return result;
}

And in sumOfDoubleEvenPlace:

public static int sumOfDoubleEvenPlace(long[] array) {
    int result = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i += 2) {
        result += getDigit(2 * array[i]);
    }
    return result;
}

Answer 5

I took a stab at this with Java 8:

public static boolean luhn(String cc) {
    final boolean[] dbl = {false};
    return cc
            .chars()
            .map(c -> Character.digit((char) c, 10))
            .map(i -> ((dbl[0] = !dbl[0])) ? (((i*2)>9) ? (i*2)-9 : i*2) : i)
            .sum() % 10 == 0;
}

Add the line

            .replaceAll("\\s+", "")

Before

            .chars()

If you want to handle whitespace.

Seems to produce identical results to

return LuhnCheckDigit.LUHN_CHECK_DIGIT.isValid(cc);
