Question

def sum_string(string: str) -> int:
"""
Given a string <string>, return the sum of this string, as computed by the
formula given below:

To compute the sum of a string as defined by this function, we add every
odd positioned digit, and subtract every even positioned digit. For example,
if we had an input of "54321", we would add 5, subtract 4, add 3, subtract
2, and add 1, bringing us to a total of 3. In other words, you would add the
first digit, subtract the second digit, and keep alternating until you reach
the end of the string. If the string is empty, then the sum is 0.

Note: since we give the input as a string, you will have to do some type
conversion in order to solve this problem.

Precondition: <string> will only contain the characters 0-9.
