# Algorithm::CheckDigits::M10\_006(3pm)

compute check digits for Rentenversicherung (DE)

## NAME

CheckDigits::M10\_006 - compute check digits for Rentenversicherung (DE)

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $rv = CheckDigits('rentenversicherung');
  if ($rv->is_valid('65180539W001')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $rv->complete('65180539W00');
  # $cn = '65180539W001'
  $cd = $rv->checkdigit('65180539W001');
  # $cd = '1'
  $bn = $rv->basenumber('65180539W001');
  # $bn = '65180539W00'
```

## DESCRIPTION

### ALGORITHM

- 1\.

  The letter is replaced with a two-figure number appropriate to the position of the letter in the german alphabet.

- 2\.

  Beginning left all numbers are weighted with 2,1,2,5,7,1,2,1,2,1,2,1.

- 3\.

  The the total of the digits of all products is computed.

- 4\.

  The check digit is sum from step 3 taken modulo 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.
