How Does Morse Code Decoding Work?

Morse code decoding works by matching sequences of dots (.) and dashes (-) to their corresponding letters, digits, or punctuation marks using the standard international Morse code table.

The decoder splits the input by spaces to identify individual Morse symbols, then looks up each symbol in the reverse mapping table. Words are detected by slashes (/), multiple consecutive spaces, or newlines between symbol groups.
