"""The Verhoeff algorithm.

The Verhoeff algorithm is a checksum algorithm that should catch most common
(typing) errors in numbers. The algorithm uses two tables for permutations
and multiplications and as a result is more complex than the Luhn algorithm.

More information:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verhoeff_algorithm
* https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Checksums/Verhoeff_Algorithm

The module provides the checksum() function to calculate the Verhoeff
checksum a calc_check_digit() function to generate a check digit that can be
append to an existing number to result in a number with a valid checksum and
validation functions.

>>> validate('1234')
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
InvalidChecksum: ...
>>> checksum('1234')
1
>>> calc_check_digit('1234')
'0'
>>> validate('12340')
'12340'
