The problem

Write a function is_valid_isbn10(code). code is an ISBN-10 as text. It is valid when it has 10 characters, the first 9 are digits, the last is a digit or X (which means 10), and digit 1 times 10 + digit 2 times 9 + ... + digit 10 times 1 divides by 11. Give back True or False.

You will practice: check digits, validation, loops, remainder (%)
