A check digit is a digit that is used in a string or value that determines if the rest of the value is correct. A formula applied to the rest of the values is applied and the value is compared against the check digit, if they are equal, then the number was likely valid. If they are not,then a character may have been entered incorrectly.Check digits are used in ISBN library book numbers, VIN numbers on your car, Credit Card Numbers and almost any place where data entry errors are likely to happen and must be avoided. We're using a bunch of functions, extended if, and elif statemetns and for loops. I think the real highlight go the program is lines 56-58. Using an empty dictionary and a for loop to run the the alphabet and associate each number with an integer.
