What is Coding Decoding? h Mukherjee Road, College Para, Hathi More, Siliguri, West Bengal etTHE IHURONAS SSC Banking WB Police WBCivil Services Other Competitive Exams Ce cer Mees Som ae eke cy Coding Decoding is used to encode words, numbers, letters, or a combination of the three in specified patterns or codes, using set rules and guidelines. Coding: Coding is the process of encoding a word, letter, number, or combination of the three in a specific code or pattern that follows a set of rules. Decoding is the procedure used to restore patterns to their original forms once they have been coded. Coding The coded language can be decoded by: 1. Moving the letters one or more steps forward or backward. (Example: COMMON-DPNNPO) 2. Substituting numbers for letters and vice-versa. (Example: COMMON- 31513131514) 3. Writing the letters of the given word in reverse order in part or in whole. (Example: COMMON-XLNNLM) (refer table number 1) 4, Replacing the letters in their natural series by the same positioned letters in their reverse series. (Example: COMMON- 241214141213) (refer table number 1) 5. Replacing the letters by symbols. (Example: COMMON- @>>8) 6. Doing some mathematical operations with the positional values of letters in English alphabetical series or with the number of letters present in a word or both 7. Representing the word by any fictitious word / letter / number / symbol. (Example: any how mental - tb gf bf, mental my you ~ gf jk lo; Therefore mental = gf) The above mentioned are the ways that can be used in coding questions. Basically, in this, we deal with the alphabet (26 letters) and everyone knows it very well. Still, you won't remember the exact position of any random letter. Like you won't, remember the position of M starting from A and then starting from Z, and coding is a game of the same. Here you will have to learn each letter position without writing the systematic alphabet every time and only practice will help you out. Tricks to learn Positional Values of the Alphabets Alphabet in natural series is: ale|c}o/elFicjH{i{s{KiLim 1f2/3]4]s|e}7]8]9]1o]11/12] 1 z}y|x}|wivju{t{s|R}a}Plo|n 26 | 25| 24] 23| 22| 21| 20] 19| 18] 17| 16| 15] 14 There are a few tricks to learn the positional value of each letter. The positional values of A,B, C, D are 1, 2,3, 4 respectively while the positional values of X, Y, & Z are 24, 25 & 26 respectively.

F (6): Read me by inverting my shape, | look like the digital form of 6 G (7): | carry my place value in my tail which is 7 H (8): Read me by putting straight horizontal lines up and down. 1(9): If you write me in cursive form, | will look similar to a number that is 9. K (11): ama team that is Kings XI Punjab L (12): Hook like a 2 M (13): M and W look like numerical value 3 but M comes first, its place value is, 13, and W's place value is 23, N (14): Read me by putting horizontal lines up and down, | will look like 4 of numbers, put X before me and I will become XIV which is 14. P (16): Read me by inverting me horizontally and putting 1 before me | will become 6 so, my place value is 16. Q.(17): also carry my place value in my tail but put 1 before it, which becomes 17. R (18): Read me by putting an arc and put 1 before me which becomes 18. 'S (19): Stretch my upper curve downwards, it looks like 9, and put 1 before me which becomes 19, U (21): Uth (Youth) comes at the age of 21 V (22): Vis formed by 2 slating lines similarly its place value has 2 twos which is 22 W (23): Mentioned above at M (13).

Decoding itis the reverse of coding. Here the code needs to be deciphered with the help of given words.
