For those who would like a program to calculate their grade id, here is one in python:
def prepare_id(id):
id = id.replace("-", "")
id = id[len(id)-5:len(id)]
return int(id)
def gen_id(id, name):
name = name.lower()
id = prepare_id(id)
a = ord('a')
sum = 0
for c in name:
sum = sum + (ord(c) - a) + 1
return id + sum
if __name__ == '__main__':
id = '555-65-4321'
name = 'Palen-Anderson'
print("The grade id for {} and {} is {}".format(id, name, gen_id(id, name)))
id = '555-60-1234'
name = 'Palen Anderson'
print("The grade id for {} and {} is {}".format(id, name, gen_id(id, name)))
Put this code in a file called gen_id.py and then execute it using the command "python gen_id.py"
The code currently uses the examples from my previous post. You can easily customize the code to generate your particular grade id. Enjoy!
