*****************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

 In  word  AN

PLACE VALUE OF A And  N = 1 AND 14

CODED AS = (1 × 14) + 2 = 16

In  word  NO

PLACE VALUE OF A And  N = 14  AND 15

CODED AS = (14 × 15) + 2 = 212

SIMILARLY

In  word  US

PLACE VALUE OF A And  N =  21 AND 19

CODED AS = (21 × 19) + 2 = 399 + 2  = 401
