#22L - Names scores
Using names.txt, a 46K text file containing over five-thousand first names, begin by sorting it into alphabetical order. Then, work out the alphabetical value for each name and 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?
As practice for the full 5000+ name version, I'll be using a smaller array of 5 names and obtaining the total point value.
let names = ["Josephine", "Ricardo", "Lydia", "Kimberly", "Manolo"];
