New Microsoft Office Word Document (4) QW

This C program uses pipes for interprocess communication between a parent and child process. The child process accepts a secret word from the user and sends it to the parent process through the pipe. The parent process generates an encoded code from parts of the word and returns it to the user after reversing and uppercase conversion.
