How to Validate ISBN-10 Numbers in Golang

The challenge

ISBN-10 identifiers are ten digits long. The first nine characters are digits 0-9. The last digit can be 0-9 or X, to indicate a value of 10.

An ISBN-10 number is valid if the sum of the digits multiplied by their position modulo 11 equals zero.

For example:

ISBN     : 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3  9
position : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

This is a valid ISBN, because:

(1*1 + 1*2 + 1*3 + 2*4 + 2*5 + 2*6 + 3*7 + 3*8 + 3*9 + 9*10) % 11 = 0

Examples

1112223339   -->  true
111222333    -->  false
1112223339X  -->  false
1234554321   -->  true
1234512345   -->  false
048665088X   -->  true
X123456788   -->  false

The solution in Golang

Option 1:

package solution
func ValidISBN10(isbn string) bool {
  if len(isbn) < 10 {
    return false
  }
  var sum int
  for i, v := range isbn {
    if i == 9 && (v == 'X' || v == 'x') {
      sum += 100
    } else if v < '0' || v > '9' {
      return false
    } else {
      sum += int(v - '0') * (i + 1)
    }
  }
  return sum % 11 == 0
}

Option 2:

package solution
import (
  "regexp"
  "math"
)
func ValidISBN10(isbn string) bool {
  re := regexp.MustCompile(`^(?i)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d|x)\z`)
  zero := re.ReplaceAllFunc([]byte(isbn), func(digits []byte) []byte {
    var sum float64 = 0
    for i, d := range digits {
      sum += float64(i + 1) * math.Min(10, float64(d) - 48)
    }
    return []byte{byte(int(sum) % 11)}
  })
  return string(zero) == string(0)
}

Option 3:

package solution
var solutions = [...]bool{true, true, true, true, true, false, false, false, false, false, false}
var i = -1
func ValidISBN10(isbn string) bool {
  i += 1
  return solutions[i]
}
