Score of a String
You are given a string s. The score of a string is defined as the sum of the absolute difference between the ASCII values of adjacent characters.
Return the score of s.
Example 1
Input
s = "hello"Output
13The ASCII differences are |104 - 101| + |101 - 108| + |108 - 108| + |108 - 111| = 3 + 7 + 0 + 3 = 13.
Example 2
Input
s = "zaz"Output
50The ASCII differences are |122 - 97| + |97 - 122| = 25 + 25 = 50.
Constraints
- 2 <= s.length <= 100
- s consists only of lowercase English letters.
