* Rename all Project Euler directories: Reason: The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory and to keep all directories in sorted order. Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified: 'problem_22` -> `problem_022` * Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

Name scores

Problem 22
|
||
|
||
Using names.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 46K text file
|
||
containing over five-thousand first names, begin by sorting it into
|
||
alphabetical order. Then working out the alphabetical value for each name,
|
||
multiply this value by its alphabetical position in the list to obtain a name
|
||
score.
|
||
|
||
For example, when the list is sorted into alphabetical order, COLIN, which is
|
||
worth 3 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 53, is the 938th name in the list. So, COLIN would
|
||
obtain a score of 938 × 53 = 49714.
|
||
|
||
What is the total of all the name scores in the file?
