 When a new member joins a library, a **membership card ** is issued which has a ////barcode// // printed on it. Every book in the library also has a barcode printed inside it. When a member takes a book out on loan, the barcode of the book is read by a barcode reader. So too is the barcode on the member's card. Together with the date, this makes up a **transaction **. **Input: ** <span style="color-interpolation-filters: linearrgb; color-interpolation: srgb; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: -moz-center; text-anchor: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-shadow: none; text-transform: none;">This **<span style="color-interpolation-filters: linearrgb; color-interpolation: srgb; color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-align: -moz-center; text-anchor: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-shadow: none; text-transform: none;">transaction ** is then stored in the library's database. <span style="color-interpolation-filters: linearrgb; color-interpolation: srgb; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: -moz-center; text-anchor: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-shadow: none; text-transform: none;">**<span style="color-interpolation-filters: linearrgb; color-interpolation: srgb; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-align: -moz-center; text-anchor: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-shadow: none; text-transform: none;">N.B. ** Barcodes contain a **<span style="color-interpolation-filters: linearrgb; color-interpolation: srgb; color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-align: -moz-center; text-anchor: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-shadow: none; text-transform: none;">check digit ** which is used for automatic validation by the barcode reader.
