Welcome to the Scrabble challenge!

• Build a simple program using functions, loops, and conditional statements
• Use git & GitHub to commit work and open a Pull Request

Given a word, compute the scrabble score for that word.

You'll need these:

Example "cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:

• 3 points for C
• 1 point for A, twice
• 3 points for B, twice
• 2 points for G
• 1 point for E

And to total:

3 + 2x1 + 2x3 + 2 + 1
= 3 + 2 + 6 + 3
= 14

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("");
s.score(); // should return 0

Scrabble s = new Scrabble(" \t\n");
s.score(); // should return 0

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("a");
s.score(); // should return 1

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("f");
s.score(); // should return 4

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("street");
s.score(); // should return 6

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("quirky");
s.score(); // should return 22

Scrabble s = new Scrabble("OXyPHEnBUTaZoNE");
s.score(); // should return 41

For some of the extended criteria, you may need to look up functions and techniques you have not used before.

Your solution should support the ability to define specific letters as double and triple score. Letters that count as double are enclosed in a pair of curly brackets {} - for example, the letter o would be defined as a double letter in in the word dog like this: d{o}g. Triple letters are enclosed in a set of square brackets - for example: d[o]g. Your solution should detect these brackets and apply the correct score modifications. You should add tests for this functionality to the spec file.

Similar to above, your solution should support the ability to define double and triple word scores. To indicate a double word score, the submitted word will be enclose in a pair of curly brackets (for example {dog}), and for triple word score a pair of square brackets ([dog]). Your solution should detect these brackets and apply the correct score modifications. You should add tests for this functionality to the spec file.
