Problem Description:
The task involves decoding a secret code using a provided "Code Key." Each number corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, and the goal is to fill in the blanks with the correct letters to reveal a hidden phrase. The Code Key maps numbers to letters as follows:
- A1, B2, C3, D4, E5, F6, G7, H8, I9
- J10, K11, L12, M13, N14, O15, P16, Q17, R18
- S19, T20, U21, V22, W23, X24, Y25, Z26
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Code Key: Each number from 1 to 26 corresponds to a specific letter of the alphabet.
2.
Decode Each Number: Replace each number in the given sequences with its corresponding letter using the Code Key.
3.
Form Words and Phrases: Once all numbers are replaced, read the resulting sequence of letters to form words and phrases.
4.
Identify the Final Phrase: The last sequence of numbers represents the final decoded phrase.
