+# USE THIS SCRIPT TO VALIDATE THE NUMBER OF A CREDIT CARD USING THE LUHN ALGORITHM
+
+# The Luhn algorithm is as follows:
+
+# 1. From the right to left, double the value of every second digit;
+# if the product is greater than 9, sum the digits of the products.
+
+# 2. Take the sum of all the digits.
+
+# 3. If the sum of all the digits is a multiple of 10,
+# then the number is valid; else it is not valid.
