qwertytown4life is getting bullied for using Python 3. Help cheer him up by creating a program that tells him the alphabet score of a word.

A word's alphabet score is the occurrence of each letter times the place that letter is in the alphabet. For example, the string ab gives $3$ $3$ because there is one a, and it is the first letter in the alphabet. So a's alphabet score $1 \times 1 = 1$ $1 \times 1 = 1$ . Next, there is one b, and because b is the second letter in the alphabet, b's alphabet score is $1 \times 2 = 2$ $1 \times 2 = 2$ . Therefore the string's alphabet score is $1 + 2 = 3$ $1 + 2 = 3$ .

Also, you must code it in Python 3.

Input Specification

You will receive one line of input containing a non-empty string $S$ $S$ . It will only contain lowercase letters.

$1 \le |S| \le 8 \times 10^6$ $1 \leq | S | \leq 8 \times 10^{6}$

Output Specification

Output the alphabet score of the string.

Constraints
