Topic : Coding-Decoding
Basics of Coding-Decoding:
Coding :It involves replacing letters, numbers, or words with other letters,
numbers, or symbols based on a certain rule or pattern.
ecoding :This is the reverse process of coding. Here, you need to figure out
D
the original letters, numbers, or words from the given coded information using
the same rule or pattern.
Types of Coding-Decoding:
Letter Shifting :This involves shifting letters forward or backward in the
alphabet according to a specific pattern (e.g., A becomes C, B becomes D, etc.).
umber Coding :Numbers are assigned to letters based on a particular rule
N
(e.g., A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on).
ubstitution :Letters or words are replaced by other letters or words based on
S
a fixed rule or pattern.
ixed Coding :It involves a combination of different types of coding methods
M
within the same question.

Example: If 'CAT' is coded as 'FDC', how is 'DOG' coded?
Solution:By analyzing the given code, you can see that each letter in 'CAT' is
replaced by the letter that comes three places after it in the alphabet. So, applying the
same rule to 'DOG', D + 3 = G, O + 3 = R, G + 3 = J. Therefore, 'DOG' is coded as 'GRJ'.
