How to calculate UPC-A check digit using C#?

Top
Barcode UPC-A checksum digit is based on a module 10 calculation,
based on the weighted sum of the values of each of the digits in the UPC number system, menufacturer code, and product code.
The steps below explain how to calculate UPC-A checksum digit.
- Consider the right-most digit of the message to be in an "odd" position, and assign odd/even to each character moving from right to left.
- Sum the digits in all odd positions, and multiply the result by 3.
- Sum the digits in all even positions.
- Sum the totals calculated in steps 2 and 3.
- The check digit is the number which, when added to the totals calculated in step 4, result in a number evenly divisible by 10.
- If the sum calculated in step 4 is evenly disivisible by 10, the check digit is "0" (not 10).
For example, UPC-A barcode data is "12345678901", and its correct check digit sum is "2".

The next number of 98 is 100, which will be evenly divisible by 10. |

So the check digit is 2. (100-98=2) |
