Function Name: bossFinder

Inputs:

1. ( char ) A MxN character array of names

Outputs:

1. ( char ) The name of the boss

Topics: ( arrays ), ( indexing )

Background:

It's time...You have been working like crazy and feel confident that you deserve a

promotion. The one issue is that your company never actually told you who the boss is.

However, luckily the CEO Blake is a huge MATLAB fan so he always would choose bosses by

who had the best name in terms of the ascii value. You now know what you must do, and you

pull up MATLAB to go get that promotion.

Function Description:

Given a character array of names of all the higher ups in the company, you must find

who the boss is. The CEO determines the best name based on which names have the highest

sum of their corresponding ascii values. You must calculate this value for the names and then

index out the name of your boss.

Example:

array = ['emma';

'john';

'jack';

'jane';

'fred']

boss = bossFinder(array)

boss = 'john'

Notes:

The name must be outputted exactly how it appears in the array

Each of the names within the array will always be the same length.

Notes:

The second input of the sum() function may help here
