How to add up the numeric values of character codes in python using a for loop

Question

I have my own name saved as a string under the variable name. I want to find the character code for each character in my name and then add them all up using a for loop. This is what I've started with, no idea if it's staring about the right way

name = "Ashley Marie"
for index in name:
    ans = ord(index)

Answer 1

Kasra solution is the correct one, but you asked for a "for loop"...so here it is:

 name = "Ashley Marie"
    sum = 0
    for ch in map(ord, name):
        sum += ch
    print sum

or

name = "Ashley Marie"
sum = 0
 for c in name:
    sum += ord(c)
print sum
