CUSIP folds doubled values by subtracting nine · case 02

CUSIPs with letters in doubled positions get wrong check digits.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

CUSIP check: nine ASCII characters, the ninth a digit. Payload values: digits face value, A-Z 10-35, * 36, @ 37, # 38 (anything else "malformed"). Every second payload character (1-based even position) is doubled, and the decimal digits of each value are summed. Return [(10 - sum % 10) % 10, whether it equals the ninth digit].
