NAME

       CheckDigits::M10_009 - compute check digits for Betriebsnummer (DE)

SYNOPSIS

	 use Algorithm::CheckDigits;

	 $betrnr = CheckDigits('betriebsnummer');

	 if ($betrnr->is_valid('73282932000074')) {
	       # do something
	 }

	 $cn = $betrnr->complete('7328293200007');
	 # $cn = '73282932000074'

	 $cd = $betrnr->checkdigit('73282932000074');
	 # $cd = '4'

	 $bn = $betrnr->basenumber('73282932000074');
	 # $bn = '7328293200007'

DESCRIPTION

   ALGORITHM
       1.  Beginning left all numbers are weighted alternatively 1 and 2.

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

       3.  The sum of step 3 ist taken modulo 10.

       4.  The check digit is the difference between 10 and the number from step 3 taken modulo 10.

	   HINT: The last digit of the 'Betriebsnummer' may be the check digit or the last digit of the sum of the constant 5 and the check digit.

   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.
