Designer PDF Viewer

When you select a contiguous block of text in a PDF viewer, the selection is highlighted with a blue rectangle. In this PDF viewer, each word is highlighted independently. For example:

In this challenge, you will be given a list of letter heights in the alphabet and a string. Using the letter heights given, determine the area of the rectangle highlight in  assuming all letters are  wide.

For example, the highlighted . Assume the heights of the letters are  and . The tallest letter is  high and there are  letters. The hightlighted area will be  so the answer is .

 Description

It should return an integer representing the size of the highlighted area.

designerPdfViewer has the following parameter(s):

• h: an array of integers representing the heights of each letter
• word: a string

Input

The first line contains  space-separated integers describing the respective heights of each consecutive lowercase English letter, ascii[a-z].
The second line contains a single word, consisting of lowercase English alphabetic letters.

Output

Print a single integer denoting the area in  of highlighted rectangle when the given word is selected. Do not print units of measure.

Solution in C# -

class Solution {

    static int designerPdfViewer(int[] h, string word) {

        List<int> lists = new List<int>();

        for(int i=0; i<word.Length; i++)

        {

            int c = word[i] % 97;

            lists.Add(h[c]);

        }

        lists.Sort();

        return lists[lists.Count-1] * word.Length;

    }

    static void Main(string[] args) {

        TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(@System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OUTPUT_PATH"), true);

        int[] h = Array.ConvertAll(Console.ReadLine().Split(' '), hTemp => Convert.ToInt32(hTemp)) ;

        string word = Console.ReadLine();

        int result = designerPdfViewer(h, word);

        textWriter.WriteLine(result);

        textWriter.Flush();

        textWriter.Close();

    }
