I need a C# .NET function to evaluate whether a typed or scanned barcode is a valid Global Trade Item Number (UPC or EAN).
The last digit of a bar code number is a computer Check Digit which makes sure the bar code is correctly composed. GTIN Check Digit Calculator
public static bool IsValidGtin(string code)
{
if (code != (new Regex("[^0-9]")).Replace(code, ""))
{
// is not numeric
return false;
}
// pad with zeros to lengthen to 14 digits
switch (code.Length)
{
case 8:
code = "000000" + code;
break;
case 12:
code = "00" + code;
break;
case 13:
code = "0" + code;
break;
case 14:
break;
default:
// wrong number of digits
return false;
}
// calculate check digit
int[] a = new int[13];
a[0] = int.Parse(code[0].ToString()) * 3;
a[1] = int.Parse(code[1].ToString());
a[2] = int.Parse(code[2].ToString()) * 3;
a[3] = int.Parse(code[3].ToString());
a[4] = int.Parse(code[4].ToString()) * 3;
a[5] = int.Parse(code[5].ToString());
a[6] = int.Parse(code[6].ToString()) * 3;
a[7] = int.Parse(code[7].ToString());
a[8] = int.Parse(code[8].ToString()) * 3;
a[9] = int.Parse(code[9].ToString());
a[10] = int.Parse(code[10].ToString()) * 3;
a[11] = int.Parse(code[11].ToString());
a[12] = int.Parse(code[12].ToString()) * 3;
int sum = a[0] + a[1] + a[2] + a[3] + a[4] + a[5] + a[6] + a[7] + a[8] + a[9] + a[10] + a[11] + a[12];
int check = (10 - (sum % 10)) % 10;
// evaluate check digit
int last = int.Parse(code[13].ToString());
return check == last;
}
GS1 US publishes the check digit calculation algorithm for GTIN in a PDF document (removed the constantly changing link).
The following code uses linq to check the last digit for GTIN barcodes: GTIN-8, GTIN-12 (UPC), GTIN-13 (EAN) and GTIN-14 (ITF-14).
private static Regex _gtinRegex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^(\\d{8}|\\d{12,14})$");
public static bool IsValidGtin(string code)
{
if (!(_gtinRegex.IsMatch(code))) return false; // check if all digits and with 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits
code = code.PadLeft(14, '0'); // stuff zeros at start to garantee 14 digits
int[] mult = Enumerable.Range(0, 13).Select(i => ((int)(code[i] - '0')) * ((i % 2 == 0) ? 3 : 1)).ToArray(); // STEP 1: without check digit, "Multiply value of each position" by 3 or 1
int sum = mult.Sum(); // STEP 2: "Add results together to create sum"
return (10 - (sum % 10)) % 10 == int.Parse(code[13].ToString()); // STEP 3 Equivalent to "Subtract the sum from the nearest equal or higher multiple of ten = CHECK DIGIT"
}
The solutions above calculate the check digit and compare it to the given digit, ignoring the fact that it is designed to be validated in a much simpler way.
- Multiply all digits, including check digit, by 3 or 1 and sum.
- Check if the sum is a multiple of 10
Based on Luciano's answer:
private static Regex _gtinRegex = new Regex("^(\\d{8}|\\d{12,14})$");
public static bool IsValidGtin(string code)
{
if (!(_gtinRegex.IsMatch(code))) return false;
code = code.PadLeft(14, '0');
int sum = code.Select((c,i) => (c - '0') * ((i % 2 == 0) ? 3 : 1)).Sum();
return (sum % 10) == 0;
}

{

public static bool IsValidEan14(string eanBarcode)

}
public static bool IsValidEan8(string eanBarcode)

private static bool IsValidEan(string eanBarcode, int length)
{
if (eanBarcode.Length != length) return false;
var allDigits = eanBarcode.Select(c => int.Parse(c.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))).ToArray();
var s = length%2 == 0 ? 3 : 1;
var s2 = s == 3 ? 1 : 3;
return allDigits.Last() == (10 - (allDigits.Take(length-1).Select((c, ci) => c*(ci%2 == 0 ? s : s2)).Sum()%10))%10;
}

The project I was building this code for is now up and running - it's part of a comprehensive barcode database and toolset - and includes a bulk barcode validator (100 in a batch for non-reg users, 10,000 for registered) - https://blinked.in/tools/validator

I had a similar problem and google brought me to this page. I needed to calculate the check digit for a large number of barcodes for a label generating program. I first started with a variation of Luciano Carvalho's answer above, but I was a little curious of the casting of the string to a char to an int. I suspected I might be able improve the performance a bit.
Please note that validating is happening outside of this function. This function is built more for speed since I am generating a large number of barcodes.
int CalculateCheckDigit(ulong label)
{
int sum = 0;
bool isEven=true;
while(label>0)
{
if(isEven)
sum += (int)(label % 10) * 3;
else
sum += (int)(label % 10) * 1;
isEven = !isEven;
label /= 10;
}
return (10 - (sum % 10)) % 10;
}

I Found this Nuget Package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ProductCodeValidator/
The code in github is: https://github.com/ThomasPe/ProductCodeValidator.
Here's how to use it:
using ProductCodeValidator;
bool IsValidEAN(string EAN)
{
return EanValidator.IsValidEan(testEan));
}
I'm aware that the question is in the context of .net/C#. Nevertheless I landed on this page seeking answer to the same question, but in a Groovy context.
Since I actually succeeded in using the information on this page to come up with an answer to my own problem, I thought I'd share the result.
Especially the answers from AlexDev, Zack Peterson and Mitch was helpful to me.
/*
Check digit calculation is based on modulus 10 with digits in an odd
position (from right to left) being weighted 1 and even position digits
being weighted 3.
For further information on EAN-13 see:
Wikipedia - European Article Number: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Article_Number_%28EAN%29
Implementation based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10143547/how-do-i-validate-a-upc-or-ean-code

probably not the most efficient but hope it helps..
