scrabble counting

Hello

I have a question, i have to make a c source file of the game scrabble and then the counting, so you enter a word and the computer count the points.

But i don't know how to do this.

Points Letter
1 A, D, E, I, N, O, R, S, T
2 G, H, L
3 B, C, M, P
4 J, K, U, V,W
5 F
6 Z
8 X, Y
10 Q

could someone help me out? thank's

Make an array that stores each letter of the alphabet, and has a value for each one. Loop through the letters in the word, look them up in your tablet, and sum it all up.

Out of curiousity, what language is the above?
Scrabble letter distributions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank's for the quick reply.

I am very new in C, i tried all kinds of things but can't get it working.
i tried the if-else statement but that doesn't work.
How can i make an aray of letters ?

Dave_Sinkula it's a dutch language

Code:

---

int letters[26] = { 1, 2, 4, 5, ... };

---

Something like that.

thanks for the reply

something like this:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int letters [26] {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y ,z);

printf (" give a word:");
scanf ("%s", & word);

but how can you make him count all letters?

i just can't get it working

Do you know how to use loops? If not, you should find a book or tutorial on them. Then find one on arrays.
