Question
We can assign a value to each character in a word based on their
position in the alphabet (a = 1, b = 2, ..., z = 26). A balanced word
is one where the sum of the values on the left side of the word equals
the sum of the values on the right side. For odd-length words, the
middle character (balance point) is ignored.
Write a function that returns true if the word is balanced and false if
it is not.
Examples
balance("zips") → true
// "zips" = "zi|ps"
"zips" = 26+9 | 16+19
= 35 35 = true
balanced ("brake") → false
// "brake" = "br|ke" = 2+18 11+5 = 2016 = false
