Yes, it's in a secret code. But, you know the secret. Each character in the message equals some bits in the output string. Your code is this:

Code     bits

V             000

n             001

a              010

1              011

e             100

*             101

T              110

&             111

5              00

S              01

h             10

4              11

Each character becomes some bits. For example, supposed you got the codes for these bits: 010 010 00 01 10 010 101 101 100 01 101 100 011 011 110. If you think of those as sequential bits, most significant bit first, you can group them in groups of 8 and you get this: 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 0. Those turn out to be the ASCII codes for "Hello". All you have to do is read the code one character at a time, and generate the bits for the decoded output as a character string.

 

The function you will fill in will be this:

/**

* Decode an encoded string into a character stream.

* @param encoded the input string we are decoding

* @param decoded the output string we produce

* @param maxLen the maximum size for decoded

*/

Void ðecoder(const char *encoded, char *decoded, int  maxLen)

{

}

Here is a simple main program to test that your solution works. Note that this does not test every possible way the program may be used, but if your solution works you will get an output string that is English, not gibberish.

 

Int main()
