3110. Score of a String

LeetCodeStringOpen on judge ↗

You are given a string s. The score of a string is defined as the sum of the absolute difference between the ASCII values of adjacent characters. Return the score of s. Example 1: Input: s = "hello" Output: 13 Explanation: The ASCII values of the characters in s are: 'h' = 104, 'e' = 101, 'l' = 108, 'o' = 111. So, the score of s would be |104 - 101| + |101 - 108| + |108 - 108| + |108 - 111
