### luhnCheck
Implementation of the [Luhn Algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm) used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, National Provider Identifier numbers etc.
Use `String.split('')`, `Array.reverse()` and `Array.map()` in combination with `parseInt()` to obtain an array of digits.
Use `Array.splice(0,1)` to obtain the last digit.
Use `Array.reduce()` to implement the Luhn Algorithm.
Return `true` if `sum` is divisible by `10`, `false` otherwise.
``` js
const luhnCheck = num => {
let arr = (num+'').split('').reverse().map(x => parseInt(x));
let lastDigit = arr.splice(0,1)[0];
let sum = arr.reduce((acc,val,i) => i%2!==0 ? acc + val : acc + (val * 2) % 9 || 9,0);
sum += lastDigit;
return sum%10 === 0;
}
```
```js
luhnCheck("4485275742308327"); // true
luhnCheck(4485275742308327); // true
luhnCheck(6011329933655299); // true
luhnCheck(123456789); // false
```
