Just finished working on credit and after testing it with the number in pset1 page it was working well and I have tested it against other numbers too the problem is when I ran check50 it said that

Three issues.

First, the code doesn't check the length of the cc number at all. All other criteria could be correct, but if the length is wrong, it's still invalid.

Second, the checksum calculation can be incorrect. There are problems in the calculation:

    if (arr[i] * 2 / 10.0 > 1)

What happens when the result is exactly 1, meaning that arr[i]*2 = 10? The test fails and the code skips to the else clause, adding the wrong sum. The outcome is that 10 is added to sum instead of 1.

Third, there's something that you forgot to check for all visa cards. I'll let you figure that one out on your own though. ;-)

If this answers your question, please click on the check mark to accept. Let's keep up on forum maintenance. ;-)
