Starting at the last digit and moving backwards, you add up every other digit. Then, you double the left-out digits, and add the digits of these results to the original sum. If this satisfies sum mod 10 == 0 then the card is valid.</p> <p>This is also explained at <a href="http://www.beachnet.com/%7Ehstiles/cardtype.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.beachnet.com/~hstiles/cardtype.html</a></p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577711 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177816/">Eric Snow</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/abc/">abc</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/validation/">validation</a>). Revision 4. </p> <p>Abstract Bases Classes in Python provide great features for describing interfaces programmatically. By default a subclass is validated against all its ABC parents at instantiation time (in object.__new__). This recipe aims to provide for validation against an ABC of:</p> <ul> <li>any class at definition time (including subclasses and registered classes),</li> <li>any object at any time.</li> </ul> <p>I have included an example of the reason I did all this. It allows you to implement an ABC in the instance rather than the class.</p> <p>If the classes argument to validate is None then it tries to build the list of classes from the object's MRO. If the ABCMeta.register method facilitated an __implements__ list on classes, we could also use that to validate against the registered "base" classes.</p> <p>The code I have provided is for Python 3, but it should work in 2.7 with a little modification.</p> <p>This code borrows from Lib/abc.py and objects/typeobject.c</p>

It tests whether an integer or string is a valid ABN (but not whether it is a <em>legal</em> ABN, i.e. if it belongs to the person or business entity that is quoting it).</p>
