Write a function called WordProduct to calculate the alphabetic word product of a character vector.

Please can you help me about this question... It is really important to me.

Write a function called WordProduct to calculate the alphabetic word product of a character vector. The input will be a character vector consisting of upper and lower case characters, and could be of any length. The alphabetic word product is the product of a number based on the correspondence to letters and is independent of the case of the letter, such as a=1, b=2, ... z=26. Ex: If the character vector is 'aBc', the word product is 6. Restrictions: The function may not use loops, and should make use of the function prod.

Hints to get you started:

• Look at the upper( ) and lower( ) functions
• What happens if you subract 'a' or 'A' from your vector?
