I would like to ask some help on how I can get the Mod 10 check digit of Contact.DonorID. the result should be

Contact.CRN__c = Contact.DonorID + CheckDigit

Just like this:

Check Digit is 2

CRN: 00184572

It is my first time to do it and I don't have any idea, I've been struggling for 3 days searching about it. I found this link -- Luhn algorithm check digit in formula field but it is using formula field, so, it can't help me.

Thank you in advance!

  • Have you made an attempt at it? The Wikipedia article linked to by the formula field question does give a pseudocode implementation. If you have tried to code this, please edit your question to show us what you've tried and point to a specific sport that you're stuck on.

  • Sorry, I couldn't format the code well in reply. Commented Mar 10, 2021 at 5:42
  • @DerekF, I tried this code. But wasn't sure. Is it correct? Is it Mod 10? String donorId = '0115839'; Integer sum = 0; Integer len = donorId.length(); for(Integer i=len-1;i>=0;i--){ Integer num = Integer.ValueOf(donorId.substring(i,i+1)); if ( math.mod(i , 2) == math.mod(len, 2) ) { Integer n = num * 2; sum += (n / 10) + ( math.mod(n, 10)); System.debug('Output1: ' + sum); String result = donorId + sum; System.debug('CRN: ' + result); } else{ sum += num; System.debug('Output2: ' + sum); } } Commented Mar 10, 2021 at 6:05

This is pretty simple, you just need to implement the algorithm.

static Integer accumulate(String[] digits, Boolean validate) {
    // This algorithm goes from the *left*, so we need to know which to double
    Integer checkSize = validate? 1: 0;
    Integer accumulator = 0;
    while(!digits.isEmpty()) {
        Integer nextDigit = Integer.valueOf(digits.remove(0));
        // We should double the value when true
        if((digits.size()&1) == checkSize) {
            nextDigit <<= 1;
            // And "add together" the individual digits when 10+
            if(nextDigit > 9) {
                nextDigit -= 9;
            }
        }
        accumulator += nextDigit;
    }
    return accumulator;
}
// Returns true if the valid Luhn check digit present
public static Boolean validateLuhnCheckDigit(String source) {
    return 0 == Math.mod(accumulate(source.split(''), true), 10);
}
// Returns the check digit for a given string
public static String calculateLuhnCheckDigit(String source) {
    return ''+Math.mod(accumulate(source.split(''), false) * 9, 10);
}

No error checking is provided, and is left as an exercise to the reader.

  • I'm sorry but I can't understand the code.. and I don't know how to convert these to Apex Batch code. Commented Mar 10, 2021 at 7:38
  • @juandelacruz Contact.CRN__c = Contact.DonorId + calculateLuhnCheckDigit(Contact.DonorId);

  • I got it now. I'll post the code here for the correct answer. Commented Mar 11, 2021 at 0:44
  • @juandelacruz My code is perfectly correct. If you're not sure how to call a function, you might want to do some reading.

I got it and it's working! I'll share my apex code. You can test it on Anonymous Window.

                String donorId = Contact.DonorID__c;
                Integer sum = 0;
                String resultCRN;
                Integer l = donorId.length();
                
                for(Integer i=l-1;i>=0;i--){
                    Integer num = Integer.ValueOf(donorId.substring(i,i+1));
                    if (math.mod(i, 2) == math.mod(l, 2))
                    {
                        Integer n = num * 2;
                        sum += (n / 10) + (math.mod(n, 10));
                    }
                    else{
                        sum += num;
                    }
                }
                resultCRN= donorId + sum;
                Contact.CRN__c = resultCRN;
                System.debug('Donor ID is: ' + donorId );
                System.debug('Check digit result is: ' + sum);
                System.debug('CRN is: ' + resultCRN);
