从供选择的答案中选出应填入下面一段英文中______内的正确答案。

In computers, encoding is the process of putting a sequence of(1)characters (letters, numbers, punctuation, and certain symbols) into a specialized(2)format for efficient transmission or storage.(3)Decoding is the opposite process—the conversion of an encoded format back into the original(4)sequence of characters. Encoding and decoding are used in data communications, networking, and storage. The term is especially(5)applicable to radio (wireless) communications systems.

The terms encoding and decoding are often used in reference to the(6)processes of analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion. In this sense, these(7)terms can apply to any form of data, including text, images, audio, video,(8)multimedia, computer programs, or signals in sensors, telernetry, and control systems. Encoding should not be confused with encryption, a process in which data is deliberately altered so as to(9)concealits content. Encryption can be done without changing the particular(10)code that the content is in, and encoding can be done without deliberately concealing the content.
