Concept of Coding-Decoding

Concept: Coding-Decoding is a method used in puzzles or problems to represent words or letters differently. The idea is to encode (transform) a message into a different form (coded), and then decode the coded one to its original form. Here’s a simple explanation of the concept:

1. What is Coding?

In coding, you take a piece of information (like a word or letter) and change it into a different form according to some rules. For example:

• Word → Code (changing a word into code)

For instance, you might replace each letter in the word “CAT” with the next letter in the alphabet:

• C → D
• A → B
• T → U

So, “CAT” becomes “DBU.”

2. What is Decoding?

Decoding is the opposite of coding. It means you take the coded message and convert it back to its original form using the same rule.

• Code → Word

If you were given the code “DBU,” you could decode it back to “CAT” by reversing the rule:

• D → C
• B → A
• U → T

So, decoding “DBU” brings you back to “CAT.”
