How many elves does Santa need to deliver gifts?

Question

Santa needs some help determining how many elves he will need to help him deliver gifts to each house.

Coal is considerably heavier than presents, so santa will need three elves for every naughty person in the house. Only two elves are needed to help santa carry presents.

On santa's map, a house is represented by a *, and each house is split by a +.

There will be a number on either side of the house - the one on the left representing the number of naughty people in the house, and the one on the right representing the number of nice people in the house. If there is no number on one side it is interpreted as a 0.

Santa doesn't visit those who are not in the christmas spirit (they don't even deserve coal), so sometimes, a house may not have a number on either side of it. In this case, santa doesn't need help from any elves

For example, one of santa's maps may look like this

1*3+2*2+1*+*2

In the first house there is 1 naughty and 3 nice, santa will need nine elves. In the second, there are 2 naughty and 2 nice, santa will need ten elves. In the third house there is 1 naughty and 0 nice, santa will need three elves, and in the last house there are 0 naughty and 2 nice, santa will need four elves.

This is an over-simplified version of one of santa's maps, though. Normally, santa's maps have multiple lines, and are in a square shape as to better fit on his list. A normal map might look something like this (a \n at the end of each line)

1*2+*+*4+1*
2*4+3*+1*6+*
*+*+4*2+1*1
*4+*3+1*+2*3
3*10+2*+*5+*

In this map, santa needs ((1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 0) * 3) + ((2 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 6 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 0) * 2) = 151 elves

Challenge

Help santa determine how many elves he needs to deliver goods to each house!

Houses

• A house is represented by a *
• Houses are split by +
• The number on the left of the house symbolizes the number of naughty people (no number means 0)
• The number on the right symbolizes the number of nice people (no number means 0)
• There may be newlines (\n) in the input, which should also be handled as a split

Elves

• Santa needs help from three elves for naughty people (coal is much heavier than presents)
• Santa needs help from two elves for nice people
• If there is no number on either side, santa will not visit that house, and therefor does not need any elves

What to do

Print the number of elves santa needs to help him deliver presents to the houses to. Because all Santa needs to know is how many elves to bring, you only need to print the added number of elves he needs for the list of houses

Test Cases

1*1 => 5
1*2 => 7
2*1 => 8
1* => 3
*1 => 2
* => 0

1*1+1*1 => 10
1*2+2*1 => 15
1*+*1 => 5
1*1+*+1*1 => 10
*+*+*+* => 0

Rules

• The input can be either taken as an argument in a function, or from STDIN or equivalent
• The output can either be the return value of a function, or printed to STDOUT or equivalent
• The input will only contain numbers, +, *, and newlines \n
• The output should be only the total number of elves that Santa needs help from to deliver on Christmas
• Standard loopholes apply

Scoring

Santa's sleigh is full of gifts giving him less space to run code, so he needs the shortest code he can get (don't worry if this doesn't make sense. If you question Santa's logic you'll end up on the naughty list). Due to Santa's CORRECT reasoning, the shortest submission in bytes wins!

Answer 1

JavaScript (ES6), 52 bytes

s=>eval(s.replace(/\D|$/g,m=>`.0*${m=="*"?3:2}+`)+0)

Explanation

Converts the input into a valid JavaScript statement. Replaces all * with .0*3+ and all other (non-digit) symbols with .0*2+. For example 8*9+*10 becomes 8.0*3+9.0*2+.0*3+10. Finally it appends .0*2 to the end for the last nice count. This works because n.0 = n and .0 = 0.

s=>
  eval(                      // execute the formed equation
    s.replace(/\D|$/g,       // replace each symbol (and also add to the end) with:
      m=>`.0*${m=="*"?3:2}+` // case * = ".0*3+", else replace with ".0*2+"
    )
    +0                       // add "0" to the end for the trailing "+"
  )

Test

var solution = s=>eval(s.replace(/\D|$/g,m=>`.0*${m=="*"?3:2}+`)+0)

<textarea id="input" rows="6" cols="30">1*2+*+*4+1*
2*4+3*+1*6+*
*+*+4*2+1*1
*4+*3+1*+2*3
3*10+2*+*5+*</textarea><br />
