add ascii values together

[greg677]

hey guys im trying to find a way to add all the ascii values the are outputted by this loop

   for (int i=0; i < word.length(); i++)
      {
      char c = word.charAt(i);
      int j = (int) c;
      System.out.println("ASCII of: "+ c +" = " + j);
      }

at the moment each individual ascii value is outputted to the screen, but i want it to add all the ascii values together in one integer. how do i do this? Thanks for the help

It's nothing more than adding all those values of your local variable j to another variable (initialized to 0) and use that value when the loop has finished ...

kind regards,

   int total = 0;
   for (int i=0; i < word.length(); i++)
      {
      char c = word.charAt(i);
      int j = (int) c;
      total += c;
      System.out.println("ASCII of: "+ c +" = " + j);
      }
      System.out.println(total);

it is a very simple problem.
here you go

the
total += c;
function i used translates in java to
total = total + c;
useful to know.

ahh cool thanks i was doing it like total =+ c; lol the wrong way
