C Program to Find the Sum of ASCII values of all Characters in a String

This is a C Program to find the sum of ascii values of all characters in a string.

This C Program finds the sum of the ASCII values of all characters that were used in a string.

Take input from the user and extract ascii values in the given string as shown in the program below.

Here is a source code of the C program to find the sum of the ASCII values of all characters that were used in a string. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

int sumascii(char [], int);
 
int main()
{
    char str1[30];
    int sum;
 
    printf("Enter a string: ");
    scanf("%s", str1);
    sum = sumascii(str1, 0);
    printf("The sum of all ascii values in '%s' is %d.\n", str1, sum);
 
    return 0;
}
 
int sumascii(char str[], int num)
{
    if (num < strlen(str))
    {
        return (str[num] + sumascii(str, num + 1));
    }
 
    return 0;
}

In this C program, reading the value of string using ‘string1’ variable. Compute the length of the string using strlen() function. For loop is used to compute the sum of ASCII values of all characters in a given string.

Initialize the value of ‘i’ variable value as 0 and check the value of ‘i’ variable is less than the value of ‘len’ variable. If the condition is true then execute the statement and compute the summation of the value of ‘sum’ variable with the value of string1[] array variable. Print the sum of ASCII values of all characters in a given string.

 
$ gcc asciisum.c 
$ ./a.out
Enter a string: education
The sum of all ascii values in 'education' is 956.
