        protected int weightedValue​(int charValue,
                                    int leftPos,
                                    int rightPos)

        Calculates the weighted value of a character in the code at a specified position.

        For EAN-13 (from right to left) odd digits are weighted with a factor of one and even digits with a factor of three.

        Calculates the weighted value of a character in the code at a specified position.

        Some modulus routines weight the value of a character depending on its position in the code (e.g. ISBN-10), while others use different weighting factors for odd/even positions (e.g. EAN or Luhn). Implement the appropriate mechanism required by overriding this method.

        Specified by:
        weightedValue in class ModulusValidator<EAN13>
        Parameters:
        charValue - The numeric value of the character
        leftPos - The position of the character in the code, counting from left to right
        rightPos - The position of the character in the code, counting from right to left
        Returns:
        The weighted value of the character
        Throws:
        Exception
