Coding Decoding

Coding is a process that is used to encrypt a word in a particular pattern following some set of
rules. Decoding is a process to decrypt the given code into its original form.

Positional value of Alphabets:

Real-life Example:

Suppose one Indian soldier wants to send an encrypted message to another Indian army i.e.
“NJTTPO CNMD”. Another soldier from a different county tries to read it but cannot.

The Indian soldier wants to say “MISSON DONE”

If we decode it

M+1=N

I+1=J

S+1=T

S+1=T

O+1=P

N+1=O

And

C+1=D

N+1=O

M+1=N

D+1=E

Memory Tip

“EJOTY” will help you to find nearby letters quickly.

This follows the pattern of multiple of 5

E J O T Y

Some Common Logic for Letter to Letter and Letter to Number

1. Opposite/ Reverse Positional Value

The Opposite / Reverse Positional Value is the summation of the two alphabet letters is 27. EX:
A is the opposite of Z (A + Z = 27)

2. Prime Numbers / Vowel

Sometimes, the operations have been done in prime numbers and Vowel.

EX: If the code for PQTWO is 2022242819

We add +5 to the positional value of the letter which is a prime number and add +4 to the
composite number.
