'Credit Card validator - issue making function that checks if credit card arrays are valid
[Hello fellow engineers. I have been on the codecademy credit card challenge (code on pastebin link) and I have been unable to figure out why the findInvalidCard function does not work. I have tried everything up to the scope of what I have learned so far, which is all we are supposed to use for this challenge, and I fail to find the error. PS: sorry if I formatted this post incorrectly, I am brand new to programming and this is my first Stacks Overflow question. ]
Here is the link to the instructions
[Thanks a lot, and please leave feedback as to how I can improve my question posts on the platform.]
