def test(strs):
    return sum(map(ord,filter(str.isupper,strs)))
strs =  "PytHon ExerciSEs"
print("Original strings:")
print(strs)
print("Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:")
print(test(strs))
strs =  "JavaScript"
print("\nOriginal strings:")
print(strs)
print("Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:")
print(test(strs))

Sample Output:

Original strings:
PytHon ExerciSEs
Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:
373

Original strings:
JavaScript
Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:
157

def test(strs):
    tot = 0
    for c in strs:
        if c.isupper():
            tot += ord(c)
    return tot
strs =  "PytHon ExerciSEs"

print(strs)
print("Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:")
print(test(strs))
strs =  "ARt"
print("\nOriginal strings:")
print(strs)
print("Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:")
print(test(strs))

Sample Output:

Original strings:

Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:
373

Original strings:
JavaScript
Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:
157

Original strings:
ARt
Sum of the ASCII values of the upper-case characters in the said string:
147
