***********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
1. EVEN POSITION LETTERS ARE CODED AS THEIR PLACE VALUE
2.ODD POSITION LETTERS ARE CODED WITH PLACE VALUE OF THE OPPOSITE LETTER
AS
C → ( OPPOSITE ) → X = 24
A → ( SAME) → A = 1
P → ( OPPOSITE ) → K = 11
T → ( SAME) → T = 20
U → ( OPPOSITE ) → F = 6
R → ( SAME) → R = 18
E → ( OPPOSITE ) → V = 22
S → ( SAME) → S = 19
AND
D → ( OPPOSITE ) → W = 23
E → ( SAME) → E = 5
C → ( OPPOSITE ) → X = 24
O → ( SAME) → O = 15
R → ( OPPOSITE ) → I = 9
A → ( SAME) → A = 1
T → ( OPPOSITE ) → G = 7
E → ( SAME) → E = 5
SIMILARLY
E → ( OPPOSITE ) → V = 22
D → ( SAME) → D = 4
U → ( OPPOSITE ) → F = 6
C → ( SAME) → C = 3
A → ( OPPOSITE ) → Z = 26
T → ( SAME) → T = 20
O → ( OPPOSITE ) → L = 12
R → ( SAME) → R = 18
