Problem 42 - Coded Triangle Numbers
TNumbers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105, 120, 136, 153, 171, 190, 210]
def wordValue(word):
word = word.upper()
total = sum((ord(char) - ord('A') + 1) for char in word)
return total
with open('words.txt', 'r') as file:
content = file.read()
words = content.split(',')
wordList = [word.strip('"') for word in words]
tWords = 0
for word in wordList:
if wordValue(word) in TNumbers:
tWords +=1
print(tWords)
Gives an output of 162
