General Statement: Read a collection of playing cards and compute

the total numerical value of that “hand”.

Input: The first line of the data set for this problem is an integer that
represents the number of strings that follow. Each string is on a
separate line.
The card value is first and the suit is second. There is an underscore
(_) between “cards”.

Output: Output the calculated sum followed by the word POINTS.

The output is to be forma ed exactly like that for the sample output
given below.

Assumptions: All le ers are upper case.

The maximum number of cards in a hand is 10.
Each card occurs only 1 time in a hand.

Discussion:
The suits are: C = Clubs
D = Diamonds
H = Hearts
S = Spades

Card values are: 2..10 = face value

A = 11
J, Q, K = 10

If only 2 suits are in the hand, add 10 points.

If all cards are of the same single suit, add 25 points.

Sample Input:
3
2C_10H_AD_KH_4S
9H_QD_QC_3H_3D_AC_AH
7C_8C_AC_4D

Sample Output:
37 POINTS
57 POINTS
40 POINTS
