Coding-Decoding

Coding :
is a process used to encrypt a word, a number in a particular code or pattern based
on some set of rules.

Decoding :
is a process to decrypt the pattern into its original form from the given codes.

Types of Coding and Decoding:

1. Letter Coding
2. Number/Symbol Coding
3. Substitution Coding
[Link] Coding:
Letter coding-decoding in which the letter of words is replaced by
certain other letters according to specific patterns/rules to form a code.

Example : If BROWN is written as ‘ZPMUL’, then VIOLET is coded as

Number/Symbol coding:
Number coding-decoding in which either the numerical code
values are assigned to a word or alphabetical code letters are assigned to the numbers

C.5365
D.5653
Substitution coding:
Substitution coding-decoding in which some particular words
are assigned with certain substituted names.
Example:
