Leetcode 3110 - Score of a string problem analysis

 Hi Everyone, This was the first attempt answer for the Leetcode problem on score of a string. 

https://leetcode.com/problems/score-of-a-string

class Solution {
    public int scoreOfString(String s) {
        sum = 0;
        char[] ssize = s.toCharArray();
        for (int i=0;i<ssize.length-1; i++){
            sum = sum + abs(ssize(i).asciicode-ssize(i+1).asciicode)
        }
            return sum
        }

Issues with the code - 

Issue	Description
sum not declared   -	sum is used without type declaration.
Incorrect syntax: abs() -	Java requires Math.abs() for absolute value.
Incorrect character access: ssize(i) -	Use ssize[i], not parentheses.
Non-existent property: .asciicode	Characters in Java already act as ASCII values when cast to int.
Missing semicolons and braces	Several semicolons and } missing.
Overall formatting and structure	Needs improvement for clarity and compilation.

Learning from the code: 

1. Declare the variables. 

2. For each Math method, use Math.<method>

3. Array access using [].

4. asciiCode. each character has a ascii value, which can be used while converting to int.

5. colons are missing

Corrected code for this 

class Solution {
    public int scoreOfString(String s) {
        int sum = 0;
        char[] ssize = s.toCharArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < ssize.length - 1; i++) {
            sum += Math.abs(ssize[i] - ssize[i + 1]);
        }
        return sum;
    }
}
