- Syntax
-
- ASCIISUM (<cString>) --> nAsciiSum
- Arguments
-
- <cString> the string to be processed

- The ASCIISUM() function sums up the ASCII values of the characters in <cString>. Be aware that the function is not position sensitive, i.e. a change of position of a certain character in the string does not change the ascii sum.

? asciisum ("ABC") --> 197
? asciisum ("ACB") --> 197
Tests
asciisum (replicate ("A", 10000)) == 650000
