 For this problem, you will implement a simple hash/checksum algorithm.
 
-Write a static method that takes in a string and returns it's {{{short}}} typed checksum. Calculate the checksum using the following steps:
+Write a static method that takes in a string and returns it's {{{long}}}-typed checksum. Calculate the checksum using the following steps:
 1. For each character, convert the {{{String}}} to a {{{char}}}.
 2. For each {{{char}}}, raise it to the power of its index. (For example, the 7th {{{char}}} will be raised to the 6th power.)
 3. Sum the powers.
-4. Modulus divide the sum to make it fit in a {{{short}}} data type.
+4. Allow overflow.
