UPC-A check digit validator

Prefix a 0 to make 13 digits, then apply the same alternating 1/3 weighting as EAN-13.

036000291452 is a valid UPC-A: the check digit match.

A passing checksum only proves the number is arithmetically self-consistent. It does not prove an IBAN names an open account, an ISBN is assigned to a real book, or a card is active, unstolen, or has funds. Those require asking the bank, the ISBN registry, or the card network.
