ASCII Code
ASCII is a 7-bit character code where every single bit represents a unique character.
Every English alphabet has a unique decimal ascii code.
We are required to write a function that takes in two strings and calculates their ascii scores (i.e., the sum of ascii decimal of each character of string) and returns the difference.
Example
Let's write the code for this −
const str1 = 'This is the first string.';
const str2 = 'This here is the second string.';
const calculateScore = (str = '') => {
return str.split("").reduce((acc, val) => {
return acc + val.charCodeAt(0);
}, 0);
};
const compareASCII = (str1, str2) => {
const firstScore = calculateScore(str1);
const secondScore = calculateScore(str2);
return Math.abs(firstScore - secondScore);
};
console.log(compareASCII(str1, str2));Output
Following is the output in the console −
