I am currently working on codeacademy's 'Credit Card Checker' using Luhn algorithm, however my code is returning false on valid arrays(which should return). Could you help me resolve the issue?
// All valid credit card numbers
const valid1 = [4, 5, 3, 9, 6, 7, 7, 9, 0, 8, 0, 1, 6, 8, 0, 8];
const valid2 = [5, 5, 3, 5, 7, 6, 6, 7, 6, 8, 7, 5, 1, 4, 3, 9];
const valid3 = [3, 7, 1, 6, 1, 2, 0, 1, 9, 9, 8, 5, 2, 3, 6];
const valid4 = [6, 0, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 3, 4, 0, 6, 8, 2, 9, 0, 5];
const valid5 = [4, 5, 3, 9, 4, 0, 4, 9, 6, 7, 8, 6, 9, 6, 6, 6];
// All invalid credit card numbers
const invalid1 = [4, 5, 3, 2, 7, 7, 8, 7, 7, 1, 0, 9, 1, 7, 9, 5];
const invalid2 = [5, 7, 9, 5, 5, 9, 3, 3, 9, 2, 1, 3, 4, 6, 4, 3];
const invalid3 = [3, 7, 5, 7, 9, 6, 0, 8, 4, 4, 5, 9, 9, 1, 4];
const invalid4 = [6, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 7, 9, 6, 1, 7, 7, 7, 9, 3, 5];
const invalid5 = [5, 3, 8, 2, 0, 1, 9, 7, 7, 2, 8, 8, 3, 8, 5, 4];
// Can be either valid or invalid
const mystery1 = [3, 4, 4, 8, 0, 1, 9, 6, 8, 3, 0, 5, 4, 1, 4];
const mystery2 = [5, 4, 6, 6, 1, 0, 0, 8, 6, 1, 6, 2, 0, 2, 3, 9];
const mystery3 = [6, 0, 1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 0, 2, 0, 9, 6, 2, 6, 5, 6, 2, 0, 3];
const mystery4 = [4, 9, 2, 9, 8, 7, 7, 1, 6, 9, 2, 1, 7, 0, 9, 3];
const mystery5 = [4, 9, 1, 3, 5, 4, 0, 4, 6, 3, 0, 7, 2, 5, 2, 3];
// An array of all the arrays above
const batch = [valid1, valid2, valid3, valid4, valid5, invalid1, invalid2, invalid3, invalid4, invalid5, mystery1, mystery2, mystery3, mystery4, mystery5];
// Add your functions below:
const validateCred = arr => {
let totalSum = 0;
let revList = arr.reverse();
for (let i = 0; i < revList.length; i++) {
let calcAmount = revList[i];
if (i !== 0 && i%2 === 0) {
calcAmount = revList[i] * 2;
if (calcAmount > 9 ) {
calcAmount -= 9;
totalSum += calcAmount;
} else {
totalSum += calcAmount;
}
} else {
totalSum += revList[i];
}
}
return (totalSum%10 === 0 ? true : false);
};
console.log(validateCred(valid3))
console.log(validateCred(valid4))
console.log(validateCred(valid5))Rewrite and fixed.

function luhnCheck(num) {
let digit, j, len, odd = true, sum = 0
const digits = (num + '').split('').reverse()
for (j = 0, len = digits.length; j < len; j++) {
digit = parseInt(digits[j], 10)
if ((odd = !odd)) digit *= 2

sum += digit

})Ideally, you should pass it in as a string and let the function do the splitting (separation of concerns) as in a real app your want to do various things on the entered number before running luhn like.. cardTypeFromNumber (visa, maestro, dankort, mastercard, amex, dinersclub, discover, chinaunionpay (doesn't use luhn), jcb mostly have all different lengths you wouldn't want to run luhn until you validate the length and format), formatCardNumber, validateCardExpiry, validateCardCVC to name a few.
A simple mistake, check if (i%2 === 1) {, algorithm needs to multiply 2 for every second elements
arr.reverse() is also bad idea, original array is changed.

function luhnCheck(cardNumber) {
let nums = cardNumber.split('').reverse();
let checkValue = nums.shift();
let luhnSum = nums.reduce((sum, n, i) => {
let val = n*(i % 2? 1 : 2);
sum += val > 9? val - 9 : val;
return sum;
}, 0);
return checkValue == 10 - (luhnSum % 10);
