To refine @dpnmn stream answer. One should avoid shared mutability, meaning to change stream external variables within the stream processing. Therefore I propose for streams this solution. First it builds a sorted list from all available names, second it calculates and sums the name scores.
public static void main(String args[]) throws UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException {
final List<String> sortedNames = Files.lines(Paths.get("target/classes/org/tw/namescan/names.txt").toAbsolutePath())
.flatMap(line -> Stream.of(line.split(",")))
.sorted()
.collect(toList());
int sum = IntStream.range(0, sortedNames.size())
.map(i -> alphascore(sortedNames.get(i))*i)
.sum();
System.out.println(sum);
}
private static int alphascore(String s) {
return s.chars().map(c -> c - 'A' + 1).sum();
}
