			Letter
			Code
		
		
			P
			2
		
		
			L
			4
		
		
			A
			6
		
		
			S
			5
		
		
			T

			I
			1
		
		
			C
			3
		
		
			G

			4
			6
		
		
			S
			S

			5
		
		
			 
			 
		
	


Now, SPLAS:
S = 5
P = 2
L = 4
A = 6
S = 5
So, SPLAS will be written as: 52465
