 /**
 20  
  * <b>Check Digit</b> calculation and validation.
 21  
  * <p>
 22  
  * The logic for validating check digits has previously been
 23  
  * embedded within the logic for specific code validation, which
 24  
  * includes other validations such as verifying the format
 25  
  * or length of a code. {@link CheckDigit} provides for separating out
 26  
  * the check digit calculation logic enabling it to be more easily
 27  
  * tested and reused.
 28  
  * <p>
 29  
  * Although Commons Validator is primarily concerned with validation,
 30  
  * {@link CheckDigit} also defines behaviour for calculating/generating check
 31  
  * digits, since it makes sense that users will want to (re-)use the
 32  
  * same logic for both. The {@link org.apache.commons.validator.routines.ISBNValidator}
 33  
  * makes specific use of this feature by providing the facility to validate ISBN-10 codes
 34  
  * and then convert them to the new ISBN-13 standard.
 35  
  * <p>
 36  
  * {@link CheckDigit} is used by the new generic
 37  
  * <a href="..\CodeValidator.html">CodeValidator</a> implementation.
 38  
  * <p>

  * <h3>Implementations</h3>

 42
