title: How, from input-string, generate number (/sum) from assigned values from each letter in the input-string (e.g: name = input('enter letters: ' )
body: <p>From input-string, generate number (/sum) from assigned values from each letter in the input-string (e.g: name = input('enter letters: ' )</p>
  
  <p>Let's say that A=1, B=2, C=3.......(etc)
  How can I get printed a number as output from these input letters in the input-string:
  <em>letters = input ('enter letters: ')</em>-------->e.g writing ABC when prompted, then return the sum of (A+B+C)------>print (name)------>6</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Alsing</p>
