Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of validating a number comprising a plurality of digits, the number having a maximum value, each digit being successively entered by a user during several stages. The method includes a test stage activated when the number of digits entered is equal to that of the maximum value minus a unit. This test consists in comparing the most significant digit entered with the most significant digit of the maximum value. The test validates the set of digits entered when the most significant digit entered is greater than the most significant digit of the maximum value. The invention also relates to a device capable of implementing the method.
