Leetcode - 3110. Score of a String

• You are given a string s. The score of a string is defined as the sum of the absolute difference between the ASCII values of adjacent characters.

  Return the score of s.

Solution

func scoreOfString(s string) int {
    sumTotal := 0

    for i:=1; i<len(s); i++{
        diff := int(math.Abs(float64(s[i]) - float64(s[i-1])))
        sumTotal += diff
    }

    return sumTotal
}
