Greetings. This ius my first post. Below is code that calculates the value of a scrabble word. It works well if I use the println() but cannot get it to return the value in total varable. Thanh you function score(str) letterValue = 0 total = 0 dict = Dict(‘a’ => 1, ‘e’ => 1, ‘i’ => 1, ‘o’ => …

function score(str) letterValue = 0 total = 0 dict = Dict('a' => 1, 'e' => 1, 'i' => 1, 'o' => 1, 'u' => 1, 'l' => 1, 'n' => 1, 'r' => 1, 's' => 1, 't' => 1, 'd' => 2, 'g' => 2, 'b' => 3, 'c' => 3, 'm' => 3, 'p' => 3, 'f' => 4, 'h' => 4, 'v' => 4, 'w' => 4, 'y' => 4, 'k'…

To be a little more explicit, this is a shortcut for return total, which means that when you call the function result = score(str), the result variable will contain what you named total inside the function
