ALGORITHM
1. "a(1) = 16"
"b(i) = a(i) % 17 +d(i)", where d(i) is the decimal value of the hexdigit at position i.
"c(i) = b(i) % 16"
"a(i) = c(i-1) * 2", for i greater than 1
2. Beginning left for each i = 1..16, "a", "b", "c" are computed.
3. The check digit is the value for "d(16)" where "c(16)" equals 1.
4. The check digit is appended as hexadecimal value to the number.
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.
