Way to count the number of letters between 2 letters?

DougBrowning2

Is there a way to calc the numerical distance between 2 letters?  

In Python it would be ord("J") - ord("A") = 9

 

I made this on the wrong account but I can find no way to delete posts now?

Thanks

Hi @DougBrowning2  I think this JS function will do: 

function returnDistance(a,b){ 
  return Number(a.charCodeAt(0))- Number(b.charCodeAt(0));
}
