Note you only need to do that if calculating the check digit, (when it

is the same in a (..) mod 10 = 0 test.

If you a_re_ calculating the digit, rather than write
(10 - (foo mod 10)) mod 10
it's probably more natural just to use
-(-foo mod 10)

Out of interest, why is:


-(-foo mod 10)

not the same as:

foo mod 10

?
