Another string question

I want to add up the sum of a string and I was wondering how you do that? For example if a user inputs the word "dog" into a string. It should sum to 314 if you look at the ascii code table.
d = 100, o = 111, g = 103

With a c-style string (char * not c++-string) it's simple:



p.s. (for c++ you could use str->c_str() to get a 'c string')

Just a thought ICON but wont strlen only count the amount of characters in the string and not necessarily give you the ascii amount for it? But If you want to count the characters in a string in C++ you could also just use str.length() str being the string name!

Read this Highlander, I submited it in your last post on strings and libraries.strings

Yes if you want to count the number of characters you could use strlen or the other one. I'm just using strlen to iterate over all characters in the string. The ascii value is retrieved in the sum += str[i]; part, str[i] being the ascii value of ith character
