Your task is to implement bank accounts supporting opening/closing, withdrawals, and deposits of money.

As bank accounts can be accessed in many different ways (internet, mobile phones, automatic charges), your bank software must allow accounts to be safely accessed from multiple threads/processes (terminology depends on your programming language) in parallel.
For example, there may be many deposits and withdrawals occurring in parallel; you need to ensure there is no [race conditions][wikipedia] between when you read the account balance and set the new balance.

It should be possible to close an account; operations against a closed account must fail.

# Instructions

Given a word, compute the Scrabble score for that word.
Your task is to compute a word's Scrabble score by summing the values of its letters.

## Letter Values
The letters are valued as follows:

You'll need these:
| Letter | Value |
| ---------------------------- | ----- |
| A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T | 1 |
| D, G | 2 |
| B, C, M, P | 3 |
| F, H, V, W, Y | 4 |
| K | 5 |
| J, X | 8 |
| Q, Z | 10 |

```text
Letter Value
A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T 1
D, G 2
B, C, M, P 3
F, H, V, W, Y 4
K 5
J, X 8
Q, Z 10
```

## Examples

"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
For example, the word "cabbage" is worth 14 points:

- 3 points for C
- 1 point for A, twice
- 3 points for B, twice
- 1 point for A
- 3 points for B
- 3 points for B
- 1 point for A
- 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

# Introduction

In a small village near an ancient forest, there was a legend of a hidden treasure buried deep within the woods.
Despite numerous attempts, no one had ever succeeded in finding it.
This was about to change, however, thanks to a young explorer named Elara.
She had discovered an old document containing instructions on how to locate the treasure.
Using these instructions, Elara was able to draw a map that revealed the path to the treasure.

To her surprise, the path followed a peculiar clockwise spiral.
It was no wonder no one had been able to find the treasure before!
With the map in hand, Elara embarks on her journey to uncover the hidden treasure.
