In a certain language ‘would have been more’, is written as ‘d%l8     e%v7     n%e7    e%r7’, then what does ‘steps down’ represents?

Here the code contains 2 letters, one symbol and a number. First letter represents first letter interchanged with the last letter of the word. Then symbol represents no. of vowels (if no. of vowels is 1, then code *, if it is 2, then code %, if it is 3, then code ? and if it is 4, then code $). Second last letter remains the same. Last number represents a no. of letters in the word + 3. In the word ‘Steps’ S → s No. of vowels →   1 → * Second last letter →   p   No. of the letters in the word →5 + 3 → 8 ∴ Code : s*p8 In the word ‘Down’ D → n No. of vowels → * Second last letter → w No. of the letters in the word →4 + 3 → 7 ∴ Code : n*w7
