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.prototype.split('')`, `Array.prototype.reverse()` and `Array.prototype.map()` in combination with `parseInt()` to obtain an array of digits.
- Use `Array.prototype.splice(0, 1)` to obtain the last digit.
- Use `Array.prototype.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(6011329933655299); // false
luhnCheck(123456789); // false
```
