   STEP1:
   a) If the number of letters of the word is even, then first element of the code is determined by, Number of letters of word + Alphabetical number of the first letter of word =letter corresponding to resultant number.
   b) If the number of letters of the word is odd, then first element of the code is determined by, Number of letters of word + Alphabetical number of the second letter of word =letter corresponding to resultant number.
   STEP2: The second element of the code is twice the number of letters of that word.
   STEP3: The third element of the code is the letter succeeding last letter of the word.
