Answer / parvatraj m bhuti

first we have to initialize the letters a=1,b=2,....
like that z=26..

then we have to read the variable v pic x(4)( which may be
abcd or any other) from input

Then we have to un string the variable v into 4 other
variables as a1,a2,a3,a4.

then
compute x1= (a1*10)+a2;
compute x2= (x1*10)+a3;
compute x3= (x2*10)=a4;

Then display ('answer is = ", x3);
That will be the answer.
