How to generate EAN13 barcode that can satisfy checksum digit check?

Question

I am using zxing to generate barcodes. I want to store incremental number in it and I want to avoid checksum errors. How can I avoid it? What\'s the correct approach?

Answer 1

you can use the algorithm on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAN-13 to base your code off of.

This should give you a good approach to creating it and using it at the same time
