Understanding the Code Language
To decode how "pen" is transformed into "17717," we need to analyze the pattern behind the encoding.
Step-by-Step Analysis
- Letter to Position Mapping
Each letter corresponds to its position in the English alphabet:
- p = 16
- e = 5
- n = 14
- Transforming Letters to Code
The transformation appears to take the individual digits of the letter positions:
- p (16) is written as "1" and "6"
- e (5) is written as "0" and "5" (with a leading zero)
- n (14) is written as "1" and "4"
- Combining the Code
When we combine these numbers, we notice that:
- p = 1, 6 → "17" (1 + 6)
- e = 0, 5 → "7" (0 + 5)
- n = 1, 4 → "17" (1 + 4)
The final code for "pen" is "17717."
Applying the Same Logic to "cap"
Now, let's apply the same transformation rules to the word "cap."
- Letter Positions
- c = 3
- a = 1
- p = 16
- Transforming Letters to Code
- c (3) → "0" and "3"
- a (1) → "0" and "1"
- p (16) → "1" and "6"
- Combining the Code
- c = 0, 3 → "03" (0 + 3)
- a = 0, 1 → "01" (0 + 1)
- p = 1, 6 → "17" (1 + 6)
Thus, the final code for "cap" would be "030117."
Final Code for "cap"
The word "cap" will be encoded as 030117 in the same code language.
