In step 1 →
Vowels are eliminated from the word and only consonants are written.
Example: Great, will become grt as “a” and “e” are vowels and they are eliminated
Step 2 →
The second letter is changed to numerical position
Example: cyn, y numerical code is 25 so “cyn” is coded as “c25n” and rest all remains
same
Step 3 →
In place of alphabets, the number of alphabets present in that word is taken.
In place of an odd number → !
In place of even number → *
Example: c25n
8→ *, c,n→ 2,
C25n→2*
Step 4: 2*
Symbols are kept the same, but numbers are replaced.
Odd number → !
Even number → *
Hence 2* will become **
If it is 1* then it will become !*
Applying the above steps we get ,
Answer is,
Statement Step1 Step2 Step3 Step4
