Question

So what I’m trying to do is make a code that adds the value of the letters in a name e.g. name: ABCD —> 1 + 2+ 3+ 4= 10

My code so far is:

def main():
    name = input("Please enter your name (all lowercase): ")
    print("\nHere is the code: ")
    for ch in name:
        print(ord(ch)-96,end=" ")

What I want to do is add all the values of the (ord(ch)-96,end=" ")

Answer 1

You could do this:

sum(ord(c) - 96 for c in name)
