In [[communications]] and [[information]] processing, encoding is the [[process]] by which [[information]] from a [[source]] is converted into [[symbols]] to be communicated. Decoding is the reverse process, converting these code symbols back into [[information]] understandable by a receiver.

One reason for coding is to enable [[communication]] in places where ordinary [[spoken]] or [[written]] language is [[difficult]] or impossible. For example, semaphore, where the configuration of flags held signaller or the arms of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_line semaphore tower] encodes parts of the [[message]], typically individual [[letters]] and [[numbers]]. Another person standing a great distance away can [[interpret]] the flags and reproduce the [[words]] sent.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code]
