Using the computational language C++ it is possible to write a code that adds the values of the letters and does the multiplication as well.
#include <iostream> //for input/output functions
#include <string> //for C++ style strings
#include <cctype> //for toupper utility function
#include <fstream> //for file I/O
using namespace std;
//function to calculate the score of the given word
int getScore(string word)
{
int score = 0;
int singles = 0;
char c; //variable to hold the current character
char prev='0'; //variable to hold the previous character
//'0' so that prev is not equal to c in the first place
bool doubled = false;
for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++)
{
c = toupper(word[i]);
switch(c)
{
case 'A':
case 'E':
case 'I':
case 'O':
case 'S':
case 'U':
score = score+1;
singles++;
break;
case 'D':
case 'F':
case 'G':
case 'L':
case 'M':
case 'N':
case 'R':
case 'T':

break;
case 'B':

break;
case 'H':
case 'J':
case 'Q':
case 'V':
case 'W':
case 'X':
case 'Z':
score = score+5;
break;
}
//if at any point, the previous character is the same as the current character, we double
if(c == prev)
doubled = true;
prev = c;
}
if(doubled) score *= 2;
//if 1 point characters are more than 3, we triple
if(singles >= 3) score *= 3;
return score;
}
//function to check if the given word is in the dictionary
bool inDictionary(string word)
{
//we assume that the dictionary is stored in a file called dictionary.txt
ifstream fin("dictionary.txt");
//check for file errors
if(!fin)

return false;

string current;
//read until the file ends
while(!fin.eof())

//we found the word
