A barcode scanner for Universal Product Codes (UPCS) verifies the 12-digit code scanned by comparing the code's largest digit (called a check digit) to its own computation of the check digit from the first 11 digits as follows: 1. Calculate the sum of the digits in the odd-numbered positions (the first, third,... eleventh digits) and multiply this sum by 3. 2. Calculate the sum of the digits in the even-numbered position (the second, fourth...tenth digits) and add this to the previous result. 3. If the last digit of the result from step 2 is 0, then 0 is the check digit. Otherwise, subtract the last digit from 10 to calculate the check digit. 4. If the check digit matches the final digit of the 12-digit UPC, the UPC is assumed correct By using C++ write a program that prompts the user to enter the 12 digits of a barcode separated by space. The program should store the digits in an integer array, calculate the check digit, and compare it to the final barcode digit. If the digits match,…
