Battle of the characters (Easy)

Groups of characters decided to make a battle. Help them to figure out which group is more powerful. Create a function that will accept 2 variables and return the one who's stronger.

Rules:

• Each character have its own power: A = 1, B = 2, ... Y = 25, Z = 26
• Only capital characters can and will participate a battle.
• Only two groups to a fight.
• Group whose total power (A + B + C + ...) is bigger wins.
• If the powers are equal, it's a tie.

Example

battle_of_the_characters("ONE", "TWO"); // => "TWO"`
battle_of_the_characters("ONE", "NEO"); // => "Tie!"

battle_of_the_characters("ONE", "TWO"); // => "TWO"`
battle_of_the_characters("ONE", "NEO"); // => "Tie!"

Solution

PYTHON

def battle_of_the_characters(x, y):
    x_total, y_total = 0, 0

    x_total = sum(ord(x[i]) - 64 for i in range(len(x)))
    y_total = sum(ord(y[i]) - 64 for i in range(len(y)))

    return x if x_total > y_total else y if x_total < y_total else 'Tie!'


print(battle_of_the_characters("AAA", "Z"))
