# Credit Card Validator
# Takes in a credit card number from a common credit card vendor (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discoverer) and validates it to make sure that it is a valid number.
# We will use Luhn Algorithm to validate the card. Read more @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm
# Some sample CC numbers to verify:
# Visa 4111 1111 1111 1111
# MasterCard 5500 0000 0000 0004
# American Express 3400 0000 0000 009
# Diner's Club 3000 0000 0000 04
# Carte Blanche 3000 0000 0000 04
# Discover 6011 0000 0000 0004
# en Route 2014 0000 0000 009
# JCB 3088 0000 0000 0009
