CODING AND DECODING

SYNOPSIS:
Coding means using a particular code or pattern to express a given English word in a

Decoding is the process of coming back to the English word from the given coded word.
There are various codes which can be used. Listed below are some of them
 Jumbling of the alphabets in a particular order
 Each alphabet is replaced by another alphabet in the alphabet series in a particular
order
 Using the place-value of a given alphabet in the alphabetical series we can add or
subtract
 Using numbers to represent words
 A combination of the above codes
