ISBN-13 conversion weights the prefix digit by three · case 03

Converted ISBN-13 numbers fail barcode scanners.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Convert a hyphenated or plain ISBN-10 to ISBN-13. The input must be a valid ISBN-10 (mod 11, X allowed as the final character) or None is returned. The result is "978" + the nine ISBN-10 payload digits + a freshly computed EAN-13 check digit (weights 1,3 alternating from the left).

Why this case matters

Library and retail systems migrate legacy ISBN-10 records to 13-digit EAN identifiers.
