finding the sum of a string's character's values

[Adm666]

Just as the title says im trying to get the sum of a string's characters values, but in a recursive way and without for loops
i tried to do this, but it says that a return type required?

private stringSum(String s, int i)
    {
        if (i==a.length)
            return 0;
        return ((int)s.charAt(i)+ stringSum (s, i+1);
    }
