/**
 * General input/data validation methods
 * Utility methods for validating data, especially input.
 * See detailed description below.
 *
 * <br> SUMMARY
 * <br>
 * <br> This is a set of meethods for validating input. Functions are provided to validate:
 * <br>    - U.S. and international phone/fax numbers
 * <br>    - U.S. ZIP codes(5 or 9 digit postal codes)
 * <br>    - U.S. Postal Codes(2 letter abbreviations for names of states)
 * <br>    - U.S. Social Security Numbers(abbreviated as SSNs)
 * <br>    - email addresses
 * <br>       - dates(entry of year, month, and day and validity of combined date)
 * <br>       - credit card numbers
 * <br>
 * <br> Supporting utility functions validate that:
 * <br>    - characters are Letter, Digit, or LetterOrDigit
 * <br>    - strings are a Signed, Positive, Negative, Nonpositive, or Nonnegative integer
 * <br>    - strings are a Float or a SignedFloat
 * <br>    - strings are Alphabetic, Alphanumeric, or Whitespace
 * <br>    - strings contain an integer within a specified range
 * <br>
 * <br> Other utility functions are provided to:
 * <br>    - remove from a string characters which are/are not in a "bag" of selected characters
 * <br>       - strip whitespace/leading whitespace from a string
 * <br>
 * <br> ==============================================================================
 * <br> NOTE: This code was adapted from the Netscape JavaScript form validation code,
 * <br> usually found in "FormChek.js". Credit card verification functions Originally
 * <br> included as Starter Application 1.0.0 in LivePayment.
 * <br> ==============================================================================
