Algorithm::CheckDigits::M43_0013pm

Compute check digits for code-39

Usage

  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $c39 = CheckDigits('code_39');
  if ($c39->is_valid('AB-123K')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $c39->complete('AB-123');
  # $cn = 'AB-123K'
  $cd = $c39->checkdigit('AB-123K');
  # $cd = 'K'
  $bn = $c39->basenumber('AB-123K');
  # $bn = 'AB-123'

Overview

Algorithm

1.

After replacing all non numeric letters with their respective values, the sum of all numbers is computers

2.

The checkdigit is the sum from step 1 taken modulo 43.

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.
