Given a word, compute the scrabble score for that word.
You'll need these:

D, G 2
B, C, M, P 3
F, H, V, W, Y 4

"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
- 3 points for C
- 1 point for A, twice
- 3 points for B, twice
- 2 points for G
- 1 point for E
And to total:
3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1- =
3 + 2 + 6 + 3 - =
5 + 9 - = 14

You can run all the tests for an exercise by entering the following in your terminal:
$ gradle testIn the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.

@Ignore("Remove to run test") annotation.
