var city = "Tokyo";

var cities = ['Tokyo', 'London', 'Rome', 'Donlon', 'Kyoto', 'Paris'];

function getScore(s){
    var s = s.toLowerCase();
    var sum = 0;
    for(var i = 0; i < s.length;i++){
        sum  += s.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return sum;
}

function getScoreRefactored(str) {
    return str.toLowerCase()
              .split('')
              .map(a => a.charCodeAt(0))
              .reduce((a,b) => a+b, 0);
}




console.log(`score for ${city} is ${getScore(city)}`);
// score for Tokyo is 566

console.log(`score for kyoto is ${getScore("Kyoto")}`);
// score for kyoto is 566

console.log(`city scores are ${cities.map(city => getScore(city))}`);
// city scores are 566,650,435,650,566,543

// Now just collect the strings with equal scores in one array
