30
Pattern ExplanationThe code value is calculated by adding up the alphabetical position of each letter in the word, then dividing that total by two.

Sum of positions: 18 plus 1 plus 13 gives 32
Calculation: 32 divided by 2 gives 16
Example 2: DAM
D is letter 4
A is letter 1
M is letter 13
Sum of positions: 4 plus 1 plus 13 gives 18
Calculation: 18 divided by 2 gives 9
Word: DREAMS
D is letter 4
R is letter 18
E is letter 5
A is letter 1
M is letter 13
S is letter 19
Sum of positions: 4 plus 18 plus 5 plus 1 plus 13 plus 19 gives 60
