Bit of a math question
I have a number, say 174. I need to write bash code that will find the first larger number that ends in 99. That would be 199 in this case. If the number were 1263, I would be looking for 1299, for 175438, I would want 175499, etc.
If the numbers were always three digit, I could just grab the first digit and add 99.
NEW_NUMBER=${OLD_NUMBER:0:1}'99'
I guess what I would want to do is to just remove the last two chars and replace with 99.
NEW_NUMBER=${OLD_NUMBER:0:-2}'99'
Does that look right??

NAME
CheckDigits::MBase_002 - compute check digits for blood bags (DE), BZUe (DE), VAT Registration Number (DE)
SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
$bb = CheckDigits('blutbeutel');
if ($bb->is_valid('2761011234567893')) {
# do something
}
$cn = $bb->complete('276101123456789');
# $cn = '2761011234567893'
$cd = $bb->checkdigit('2761011234567893');
# $cd = '3'
$bn = $bb->basenumber('2761011234567893');
# $bn = '276101123456789';
DESCRIPTION
ALGORITHM
1. Start with values P = 10, S = 0.
2. Beginning left you do the following for all digits
1. S = (P + digit) modulo 10
2. If S is 0 then S = 10.
3. P = (2 * S) modulo 11
3. The check digit is (11 - P) modulo 10.
METHODS
is_valid($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.
