It's because, like the Internet, the US "did it first". Technically (as Viva Dario noted), if the first digit of an EAN is zero then everything else represents a UPC-A barcode. UPC and EAN share the same basic encoding scheme of bars for each digit, but have different rules regarding why each digit gets what parity.

Yes, it is intentional, and on some barcodes it's actually used to embed an extra digit without needing to add more stripes. For example, on a 6-digit UPC-E barcode, which digits get what parity actually encodes the error-check digit.

You should really distinguish between a barcode and a UPC (Universal product Code). What you described is a UPC, a type of barcode. There are many types of barcodes which are not UPCs, kind of like the way a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Some can be read from any direction, some can't, some are 2D and hold lots of information. Most types of barcodes do not need to be licensed to be used. I think it's really confusing to most viewers to imply that all barcodes work this way, or are organized in this fashion. There is also the matter of country code 4, which is reserved for "local" use and can be used by anyone without licensing. This is often used for things such as store loyalty cards.

This isn't for barcodes in general, just for UPC-A codes which are the most common you see in store products. A more compact UPC-E is a smaller barcode is also common with only 6 digits encoded instead of 12. You see them on things like soft drinks and candy bars. These are basically a shorthand for certain 12-digit codes (ones with lots of zeros) and can be converted back into the full 12-digit code.

I’m pretty sure you missed out on how the first digit is depicted in the code. There is not just one set of patterns for the left side, there are two. And the order of those digit patterns on the left side „implicates“ the value of the first digit. That‘s why you only need to code twelve digits (95 bars = 3+5+3+7*12) although there are 13 digits in the code (therefore its name EAN-13)

You should have explained it better that not every barcode is the same. Just like you have the Baseball "World Series" where only North American teams compete, the American barcode system is called UPC = Universal Product Code. Except that it also only covers small part of the worlds. The actual global system is the EAN = European Article Number which has 13 digits where the UPC has only 12. Then there is the ISBN = International Standard Book Number which has 10 digits which can be converted to an EAN by removing the last digit (the ISBN check digit), adding 978 for "book land" at the beginning and calculating the EAN check digit. ISBN 1408855658 becomes EAN 9781408855652.

Like Bradley Irving said "around the lower atmosphere"

Critiquing, not criticizing. This is only one type of barcode, albeit, the most recognizable. This is EAN-13 (International Article Number). What we typically see in the US is UPC-A, a subset of EAN-13. There are other formats (e.g c128) that aren't regulated by any organization, and that are encoded differently. QR codes are technically a 2d barcode, and encoding is very different. For the codes discussed in the video... The middle 3 bars (the middle guard) is actually 5 bars long.. white, black, white, black, white. The left side of the code is technically 6 digits long, but only has space for 5 characters. The 6th digit is encoded. There are two sets of numbers for the left side (set G and set L). Depending on on what the first digit of the code is, the L/G pattern changes. I.e LLLLL is 0, LGLGLG is a different number, etc... Thus, the black/white pattern for each number isn't always the same on the left side of the barcode. The check digit is normally called the checksum and calculating it is a bit different than described. You add the odd digit positions and multiply by three, add the sum of the even digits to the result of the odd digits, store that number as x, round to the next number divisible by 10 (which l will call y), then calculate y-x. This is your checksum. The right hand side of the barcode isn't necessarily odd white spaces. It's actually the inverse of the L patterns mentioned earlier.. and happens to be odd 😂

What is a hard sound vs. a soft sound?

Take the town of Geelong. It's pronounced Ja-long. The G is soft, as in "large". That's a soft sound. It's not G-long, as that's a hard sound.

Also, check out kzread.info/dash/bejne/em2AmsutedmWgdo.html for examples of the language of the Kaurna people (in the great town of Adelaide where I'm from). Once you know the way it's said, you'll be able to apply the same form to all (most) of the other Aboriginal names for places in our country.

All the names mean something in the language of the Aboriginal people from that Country. Just because you don't understand it or think it's basic probably says more about your ignorance then their language.

But only _C_ and _G_ have hard and soft sounds. Where is the hard/soft in _bara_ versus _beara_ ? And there is no _C_ or _G_ in _Toowoomba_ .

What about barcodes that have a secondary barcode after the primary one, that typically denotes the price? Where do those barcodes fit in with the rest of the GS1 codes?

Good info, especially the country code

*that smooth transition to square space*

Thanks for the awesome videos! I think you may have misrepresented the check digit in this video: During the summing of the digits to be multiplied by 3, you show 3, 0, 7, 4, and 6, but according to GS1, the numbers to be multiplied by 3 are 2, 2, 0, 3 (because of the central and non-enumerated digit being an even entry), 7, and 6; which coincidentally add up to 20 as well. This caught my eye when watching the video and figured you'd want to be sure you're accurate. Thanks again! And keep up the awesome work!

Ryan Schmidt Nice catch. You sound more than smart enough to do videos like this. I'd subscribe!

The transition to squarespace was so smooth, i almost thought it had something to do with barcodes

At work, I discovered our terminals have various barcode formats installed as system fonts (e.g. each glyph in the font's character set maps to a certain encoding) so I actually set up some formulas into an Excel spreadsheet where I can type in an arbitrary UPC number and get the corresponding UPC barcode. WHICH ACTUALLY SCANS. (This wasn't just a nerd exercise: we have one customer who periodically orders a large number of items at a time, often the same items, so printing out a list of them with scannable barcodes instead of just the UPC numbers saves me the time of actually locating each item to physically scan, or typing in UPC numbers by hand)

That has got to be one of the best segways I’ve seen in a while

That advertisement transition was sly AF Good vid btw

I immediately tried the check digit verification out on product close at hand, and I couldn't do it. I researched and found out that it's because how you calculated your check digit is wrong... Though, funny enough, it still works for that particular barcode either way. When you said the add the odd digits, you added the second chunk digits together; however, you were supposed to add the odd sequence placement digits: ie, 6+2+1+3+7+6=25. Multiply that by 3 to get 75 then add the even spacing digits: ie, 2+2+0+0+4=8. Take both numbers and add them to get 83. Subtract that from the equal or *higher* value of ten to get your check digit value.

I was actually trying to find this kind of comment since I calculated 83, though it will still result to the same 12th digit.

Fascinating! Thank you.

Literally 😂😂

i never knew how barcodes work all i knew was "they scan them and they know what it is"

You said the formula is (odd x 3) + evens then subtract that from the nearest tens... but on screen you showed just doing the last 5 digits x 3 plus the first 6 digits... and still got the right answer.

Taking this down on my notes cuz one day they will be useful!

That transition into the squarespace sponsorship was so good at the end

I came here to learn how to read barcodes. All I learned here was about formatting and not actually how to translate the numbers at the bottom of a barcode into the number the barcode scanner reads, which is different.

I've always wondered how bar codes worked (even as a little kid). Thanks!

Thanks. You Taught Me Nothing About How To Read Them. You Explained How It Works.

Yeah, all the Swiss stuff I could find within arm's reach are either 761 (all of them but one) or 768 (some medicine). Accordingly, the GS1 code range for Switzerland is 760-769.

Wikipedia is usually a very reliable source. The article in question directly quotes GS1's list. It says the same thing: 622: GS1 Egypt 760 - 769: GS1 Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera

I noticed that, for the same digit, that the white spaces on the left are at the same place as the black spaces on the right. Also YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I learn something new each time.

Also, there have to be odd numbers of black spaces on the left and therefore even numbers of black spaces on the right.
