if apple is coded as 118 how is monkey coded as

• Using the numerical equivalent of alphabets, we have the following
  
  A=1 P=16 L=12 and E=5
  
  we start at this pattern
  
  -A^2 + P^2 - P^2 + L^2 - E^2
  
  = -(1)^2 + (16)^2 - (16)^2 + (12)^2 - (5)^2
  = -1 + 256 - 256 + 144 - 25 = 118
  
  for MONKEY, M=13, O=15, N=14, K=11, E=5 and Y=25 (large numbers XD)
  
  so the formula would be
  
  -(13)^2 + (15)^2 - (14)^2 + (11)^2 - (5)^2 + (25)^2
  = 581
  
  so MONKEY is coded as 581
