1. Coding and Decoding Fundamentals

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Coding: Encrypts words and numbers into codes by applying specific patterns and rules.
  • Decoding: Decrypts coded patterns into their original forms.

Essential Points

  • The notes identify numerical values assigned to the alphabet as a major concept in coding-decoding questions.

Memory Hook

Coding encrypts; decoding decrypts back to the original.

2. Coding Question Types

β˜… Must-know

  • The four question types are:
    • substitution coding
    • Chinese coding
    • number coding
    • alphabet coding

Further detail

  • The notes describe the topic's difficulty as Easy+/Moderate.

3. Substitution Coding

Essential Points

  • In the substitution example, the color names are successively relabeled as Reds β†’ Blues β†’ Whites β†’ Yellows β†’ Oranges β†’ Pinks; therefore, the sky's coded color is Blue.

4. Chinese Coding by Word Overlap

  • In Chinese coding questions, compare phrases that share words and use their shared code tokens to identify the code for a target word.
