NAME

CheckDigits::M10_010 - compute check digits for Postscheckkonti (CH)

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
 use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
 $pck = CheckDigits('postcheckkonti');
 if ($pck->is_valid('85-12345678-7')) {
# do something
 }
 $cn = $pck->complete('85-12345678');
 # $cn = '85-12345678-7'
 $cd = $pck->checkdigit('85-12345678-7');
 # $cd = '7'
 $bn = $pck->basenumber('85-12345678-7');
 # $bn = '85-12345678'
            
          

DESCRIPTION

ALGORITHM

1. The sequence of digits is processed left to right. For the first digit we assume a carry forward of 0.

2. For each digit d(i) the carry forward cf(i) is the digit at the the position p in the sequence ( 0, 9, 4, 6, 8, 2, 7, 1, 3, 5 ), where p is (d(i) + cf(i-1)) modulo 10.

3. The check digit is the difference of the sum from step 3 to the next multiple of 10.

METHODS

is_valid($number)

Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given above.

Returns false otherwise,

complete($number)

The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end of $number.

Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits and spaces.

basenumber($number)

Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.

Return '' otherwise.

checkdigit($number)

Returns the checkdigit of $number if $number has a valid check digit.

Return '' otherwise.

EXPORT

None by default.
