will get the following data:

DECODING
Data can also be represented in the form of a hidden/secret message, called as
coded data. The hidden message can be in the form of a symbol, number, picture,
letter, or a pattern. The process of converting a hidden message to a meaningful
text is called decoding. Look at the code below used to solve the sums.
Code:
A = 1 B = 2 C = 3 D = 4 E = 5 F = 6 G = 7 H = 8
Sums:
1. A × B = B 2. E × A = E 3. B × C = F 4. D × B = H
Recap
Data refers to the raw input and processed data is known as information.
Information can be represented in the form of tables, pictures, maps, pictograms,
etc.
The process of converting a hidden message to a meaningful text is called
decoding.
