-[section:modulus Modular sum algorithms]
-
-A ['modular sum algorithm] computes the sum of a sequence of digits modulus some number.
-The number obtained is called the ['check digit]; in many codes it is appended as the last digit (or letter).
-This simplistic algorithm detects any ['alteration] of one single digit
-but doesn't detect a simple ['transposition] or two (or more) digits if the check digit is not transposed.
-This is why even the most basic algorithms introduce the notion of ['weight].
-The weight is the contribution of a number to the final sum.
-The following algorithms presented are the base of many, many codes and numbers in worldwide use.
-We could describe a number and its check digit calculation with three characteristics : length, weight and the modulus.
-So we could design a generic function - but we won't - it wouldn't be efficient and would be unnecessarily complicated.
-The next parts will present three different algorithms for which we have choose to design this implementation.
-
-[note We may add other algorithms later.]
-
-[section:luhn Luhn algorithm]
-
-[h5 Description]
-
-The Luhn algorithm is used with a lot of codes and numbers:
-the most well-known usage is the verification of the ['credit card numbers]
-It produces a check digit from a sequence with an unlimited length.
-The weight pattern used is from the rightmost digit (the check digit) doubling the value of every second digit.
-It applies a modulus 10 on the sum, so the range of the check digit is from 0 to 9.
-
-[note When a digit is doubled, we subtract 9 from the result if it exceeds 9]
-
-[h5 Errors]
-
-[*Alterations] of any one digit are all caught. The alterations of more than one digit are not all caught.
-All [*transpositions] on digits with different weight are caught, but the sequence "90" or "09" is not because:
-
-[teletype]
-``
-9*2 = 18 and 18-9 = 9
-9 * 2 = 9 * 1
-0 * 2 = 0 * 1
-``
-
-The two digits have the same value if they are doubled or not.
-Because Luhn alternates a weight of 1 and 2, any transpositions of digits with the same weight are not caught.
-
-[endsect] [/section:luhn Luhn algorithm]
-
-[section:mod10 Modulus 10 algorithm]
-
-[h5 Description]
-
-This algorithm use a modulus 10 as the Luhn algorithm but use a custom weight pattern.
-The sum is made without subtraction if the multiplication of a digit exceeds 9.
-The custom weight pattern may be useful for many codes and numbers that aren't implemented in the high level library.
-The user can easily craft his own check function with this weight pattern.
-
-[endsect] [/section:mod10 Modulus 10 algorithm]
-
-[section:mod11 Modulus 11 algorithm]
-
-The modulus 11 algorithm use a modulus of 11, so we have 11 possible check digits.
-The ten first characters are the figures from 0 to 9,
-the eleventh is a special character choose by the designer of the number.
-It is typically 'X' or 'x'.
-The weight of a digit is related to its position.
-The weight of the first character is equal to the total length of the number (with the check digit included).
-The weight decreases by one for the second position, one again for the third, etc.
-
-[endsect] [/section:mod11 Modulus 11 algorithm]
-
-[section:verhoeff Verhoeff Algorithm]
-
-Verhoeff's check equation catches all single errors, all adjacent transpositions,
-over 95% of twin errors, over 94% of jump transpositions and jump twin errors,
-and most phonetic errors.

-Here a summary of the different algorithms studied.
