program in C "the variable 'i's being used without being initialized

[Giorgi Gvimradze]

\* hello im new in this thing of programming and especially in C.
this program was done by me to calculate the sum of numbers i meant letters.
ex: if i write ab in console get calculation like that:
if a=1 and b=2 then sum = 1+2=3. when i type a word in console, space bar another word, enter i get an error with possibilities [abort], [retry], [ignore].

You can use the int representations of char to add to sum. In the code below, we must subtract by 96 because the ASCII int value of 'a' is 97. When we hit NULL, we simply stop. Just in case the user entered a character that is not a letter, we print an error.

#include <cstdio>
#include <cctype>

int main(void)
{
	char *word=new char[25];
	char termch;
	int sum=0,counter=0;
	printf("This program adds letters.\n");
	printf("Enter your word:  ");
	scanf("%s%c",word,&termch);
	do
	{
		sum+=((tolower(word[counter]))-96);
		if(isalpha(word[counter+1]))
		{
			printf("Only letters please! Retry.");
			getchar();
			delete [] word;
			return(0);
		}
	}while(word[++counter]!=NULL);
	printf("Sum of the word is: %d",sum);
	delete [] word;
	getchar();
	return(0);
}

Also, make sure you use code tags.
