Encoding/Decoding

Encoding and decoding are processes used to transform information for efficient transmission or storage. Encoding converts data into a specific format or code, making it suitable for sharing across different systems or channels, such as turning text into a binary code for computers. Decoding is the reverse process, where the encoded data is interpreted back into its original form. These processes ensure that information remains accurate and secure during transfer, enabling communication between devices or systems that may use different formats or languages.
