PROBLEM 1: Have you ever wondered how websites validate your credit card number when you shop online? They do not check a large database of numbers. Most credit providers rely on a checksum formula for distinguishing valid numbers from random collections of digits (or typing mistakes). The objective of this lab you will implement a program that read a file that contains a table with two columns: A column of customer names and a column of credit card numbers. For each customer, print the validity of the credit card number and name of the corresponding credit card company (if the number is valid), For our purpose, the algorithm that valid credit cards is the following: Double the value of every second digit beginning from the right. That is, the last digit is unchanged; the second-to-last digit is doubled; the third-to-last digit is unchanged; and so on. For example, [1,3,8,6] becomes [2,3,16,6] Add the digits of the doubled values and the undoubled digits from the original number. For example, [2,3,16,6] becomes 2+3+1+6-27 Calculate the remainder when the sum is divided by 10. For the above example, the remainder would be eight. If the result equals zero, then the number is valid. seven You can use the information below to map the name of a credit card company to a valid credit card number. Credit card brand ● . .
