[ ASSIGNMENT: ] Word Values

Given a String "abc" and assuming that each letter in the String has a value equal to its position in the alphabet ("abc" has a value of 6) This means that a=1, b=2, c=3 ... z=26 TASK : Given a list of strings. Return the values of the strings multiplied by the position of that String in the list. Position begins with 1 Example :: nameValue ["abc", "abc abc"] return [6, 24]  because of [ 6*1, 12*2 ]. Spaces are ignored! NOTE : Input will only contain lowercase characters and spaces! HappyCodings!:-)

Nevfy Pb too simple to spend much time refining it:-) Btw your one liner could be shorter ([(i+1)*sum((ord(c)-96)*c.isalpha() for c in s) for i,s in enumerate(input().split(','))])

@~ swim ~ Yes, sure, they are often not easy to read. In real life I never use more than 2 or 3 operations per line and have them commented for any further users of my code, but these solutions are made for fun, so we can play around and demonstrate a real power of Python even if it makes a code hardly readable. And possibility to read them is a skill, which comes with practice and based on good knowledge of the language and your own experience as well.

Danijel Ivanović hi, i could’t find ur solution. btw, python is not the only lang that allows one-liners ;) ,so my tries: c# one-liner https://code.sololearn.com/ci91XZj4hJ4b/?ref=app java one-liner https://code.sololearn.com/cd8VdfC0t8OQ/?ref=app

@VcC One line - three bugs :-) 1. Positions start from 1 not from 0. Your solution will always return 0 for first string in a list. 2. Doesn't work correctly with spaces. 3. A list of sums is required as an output, not a total sum.

@VcC Nice idea, I think I saw already such approach in one of your oneliners. I shell try to remember it to use it next time. Thanks :-)
