Im a student currently studying from home and im seriously stuck on a Checksum problem. The script is supposed to validate the PESEL(Polish equivilant of a social security number i think), Anyway the checksum works as follows for PESEL: 70051012347
PESEL:7,0,0,5,1,0,1,2,3,4 (7)
(Multiply each Pesel number by its corresponding check number)
CHECK:1,3,7,9,1,3,7,9,1,3
(Sum Each number)
SUM: + 7,0,0,45,1,0,7,18,3,12 =93
MOD: 93 MOD 10 = 3
10 - 3 = 7(last digit of pesel)
Where the MOD 10 doesn't equal 0, the result of sum%10 is subtracted from 10 and then matched with the final digit in the original number, if they match its good, if not its bad. All i need to have is a good or bad result.
I'm pretty sure I have all of this fine in my code and there's a simple solution i just cant see it. Any help at all would be massively appreciated.

You have made a couple of mistakes. If you step through your code using a JavaScript debugger, you will find out exactly what goes wrong. The most important fact is, that you don't have to convert a string to an array of integers. JavaScript automatically understands when to convert a character to an integer. This is my solution:
function peselgood(y)
{
if (y.length == 11)
{
var arr = [1,3,7,9,1,3,7,9,1,3];
var sum = 0;
//muliply pesel digits by checksum digits
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
sum += arr[i] * y[i];
}
sum = sum%10 == 0 ? 0 : 10-sum%10;
return sum == y[10];
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
