Maybe this works. ord function returns ascii value of character. For example ord('a') = 97, ord('b') = 98. So I substract 96 from them and get desired numbers https://code.sololearn.com/cDJFDGAwIKye/?ref=app

you can define a function :D i've changed the code a bit. Now it takes user input, stores it to variable and prints it's character sum https://code.sololearn.com/cDJFDGAwIKye/?ref=app
