title: Converting String to Ordinal Value
body: <p>I'm looking to compute the
  sum of the ordinal values of all the characters of the full name string, and will output this
  sum. </p>
  
  <p>here is what I have so far. </p>
  
  <pre><code>a = input('Enter your first name: ')
  b = input('Enter your last name: ')
  c = print("your full name is:", a, b)
  print(ord(a))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so for example if you put Mary for the first name and Joe for the last name the full name would be Mary Joe and the ordinal value would be 727. </p>
