# Using names.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 46K text file containing over
|
||
# five-thousand first names, begin by sorting it into alphabetical order.
|
||
# Then working out the alphabetical value for each name, multiply this value by its
|
||
# alphabetical position in the list to obtain a name score.
|
||
#
|
||
# For example, when the list is sorted into alphabetical order,
|
||
# COLIN, which is worth 3 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 53, is the 938th name in the list.
|
||
# So, COLIN would obtain a score of 938 × 53 = 49714.
|
||
#
|
||
# What is the total of all the name scores in the file?
