JULIAYou will be using the provided names.txt file, text file containing over five-thousand first names, and you will calculate a score for each name. Begin by reading the names from the file and sorting them in alphabetical order. Then, you will compute an alphabetical value for each name where A is 1, B is 2, C is 3 and so on. The alphabetical value of a name is just the sum of the values of the letters in the name. To compute the name-score for a name, you simply multiply this alphabetical value by its position in the sorted list. 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, the name-score for COLIN would be 938 * 53 = 49714. What is the sum total of all the name-scores in the file?

part of the txt file is copy pasted at the begining.

Explanation / Answer

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class NameScore {
  
  
  
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
{
List<String> names = new ArrayList<>();
FileReader fr = new FileReader("names.txt");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(fr);
  
while(sc.hasNextLine())
{
names.add(sc.nextLine().trim());
}
sc.close();
  
Collections.sort(names);
int scoreSum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < names.size(); i++)
{
int nameScore = 0;
String name = names.get(i);
for(int j = 0; j < name.length(); j++)
{
nameScore += (name.charAt(j) - 'A');
}
nameScore = nameScore*(i+1);
scoreSum += nameScore;
}
System.out.println("Score sum is : " + scoreSum);
}

}
