Solution

Sure, I will provide step-by-step instructions to design a custom encoding scheme based on the given requirements.

  1. Start by defining the input message and the key provided. In this case, the message is "Hardwork never failz" and the key is "152".

  2. Create a table to keep track of the encoding process. The table will have four rows: the input message, the key (repeated until the end of the message), the position number of each character in the English alphabet, and the encoded string (output).

  3. Assign a shift value to each character in the message based on the key provided. The shift value is determined by multiplying the position number of the character in the message by the corresponding digit in the key.

  4. If the shift value exceeds 26 (the index of the alphabet), loop through the alphabet repeatedly. For example, if the shift value is 28, it will be equivalent to a shift value of 2.

  5. Handle special characters, specifically the blank space. The first blank space character is encoded as 'a', the second as 'z', the third as 'b', and so on. This pattern continues for the remaining blank spaces in the input message. If there are more than 26 blank spaces, the encoding pattern is repeated.

  6. Take into account that the same character may be associated with different key values, resulting in different shift values.

  7. If the key length is shorter than the message length, loop through the key repeatedly until each character in the message has a corresponding digit for the shift.

  8. Handle both uppercase and lowercase letters in the message. Convert the encoded message to uppercase before returning it as the final result.

  9. Apply these steps to the given example: "Hardwork never failz" with a key of "152".

  10. Fill in the table with the input message, the repeated key, the position numbers of each character, and the encoded string.

  11. The encoded string for the given example should be "PFBHHSJNAPJBOJZJCRTZ".

  12. Return the encoded string as the final result, in uppercase.

By following these steps, you can design a custom encoding scheme that transforms a string into its encoded form based on the given requirements.

So, the shift value is 1*8 = 8. From H, P is available at 8th position. So, the corresponding encoded character of H is P. Similarly, Index of R in English Alphabet is 18. Its key value is 2. So, the shift value is 2*18 = 36. From R, B is available at 36th position. Find the encoded character according to the shift value in a cyclic manner. So, the corresponding encoded character of R is B. This explanation holds valid for the R which has its key value 2. In the input message, other R are also available. But, they have different key values. So, their shift values are different. Input formatRead the input messageRead the key Output formatDisplay the encoded message Sample Input:Hardwork never failz152 Sample Output:PFBHHSJNAPJBOJZJCRTZ

A message containing letters from A-Z can be encoded into numbers using the following mapping:'A' -> "1"'B' -> "2"...'Z' -> "26"To decode an encoded message, all the digits must be grouped and then mapped back into letters using the reverse of the mapping above (there may be multiple ways). For example, "11106" can be mapped into:"AAJF" with the grouping (1 1 10 6)"KJF" with the grouping (11 10 6)Note: the grouping (1 11 06) is invalid because "06" cannot be mapped into 'F' since "6" is different from "06".Given a string s containing only digits, return the number of ways to decode it.
