Hi everyone! I'm a student taking an introduction to Python programming class and I'm in URGENT need of some help!
Basically the program I need is to compute the "numeric value" of a name. Ex. a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, etc. So name abc = 6.
I'm to capitalize the name before I compute the letters also.
I should mention that the program can't be too complicated yet because we're only on chapter 4 of this book :http://www.amazon.com/Python-Programming-Introduction-Computer-Science/dp/1887902996
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with splitting the name as a string. I'm really completely lost on this and some help would be GREATLY appreciated!
