![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Write a program that takes a bitcoin address as argument, and checks whether or not this address is valid.
A bitcoin address uses a base58 encoding, which uses an alphabet of the characters 0 .. 9, A ..Z, a .. z, but without the four characters 0, O, I and l.
With this encoding, a bitcoin address encodes 25 bytes:
- the first byte is the version number, which will be zero for this task ;
- the next twenty bytes are a RIPEMD-160 digest, but you don't have to know that for this task: you can consider them a pure arbitrary data ;
- the last four bytes are a checksum check. They are the first four bytes of a double SHA-256 digest of the previous 21 bytes.
To check the bitcoin address, you must read the first twenty-one bytes, compute the checksum, and check that it corresponds to the last four bytes.
The program can either return a boolean value or throw an exception when not valid.
You can use a digest library for SHA-256.
Here is an example of a bitcoin address:
1AGNa15ZQXAZUgFiqJ2i7Z2DPU2J6hW62i
It does not belong to anyone. It is part of the test suite of the bitcoin software. You can change a few characters in this string and check that it will fail the test.

- For those looking at examples here to try and work out what is required, the
n.to_bytes()
call is equivalent to this code which converts a (long) integer into individual bytes of a byte array in a particular order: - <lang python>>>> n = 2491969579123783355964723219455906992268673266682165637887
>>> length = 25 >>> list( reversed(range(length)) ) [24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0] >>> assert n.to_bytes(length, 'big') == bytes( (n >> i*8) & 0xff for i in reversed(range(length))) >>> </lang>
