WHAT IS DECODING?

Decoding is a process to understand a code language.

TYPES OF CODING

1.    Letter Coding: Letters are used in forward or backward or both the directions for making some code language.

2.    Direct Letter Coding: Letters of a word are directly replaced by other letters.

3.    Number/Symbol Coding: Numerals or symbols are assigned to words.

4.    Substitution Coding: Some particular words are assigned to certain names.

(b) PRESERVE      

(c) PERSERVE              

(d) PRESEVER
