Hello,

there are indeed functions in Scheme that can be used do this -- they
are called + and * ;-)

All you need to do is multiply each digit of the number with the value
of its position and add up the results. If you want to create a more
general solution for an arbitrary number of digits, a function like
foldr comes in handy, too.

cu,
Thomas
