# Algorithm::CheckDigits::MXX\_005(3pm)

compute check digits for ESR9 (CH)

## NAME

CheckDigits::MXX\_005 - compute check digits for ESR9 (CH)

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $esr = CheckDigits('esr9');
  if ($esr->is_valid('123456786')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $esr->complete('12345678');
  # $cn = '123456786'
  $cd = $esr->checkdigit('123456786');
  # $cd = '6'
  $bn = $esr->basenumber('123456786');
  # $bn = '12345678'
```

## DESCRIPTION

### ALGORITHM

- 1\.

  Digits are processed left to right. For the first digit applies the balance is 0.

- 2\.

  The new balance is taken from the balance table according to the current balance (row) and the digit (column).

- 3\.

  The check digit is the difference from the last balance to 10 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.
