Imagine you are creating a simple encryption program for sending secret messages. The program uses a basic encoding scheme where it transmits only the first and last two characters of a word to create an encoded message. This rudimentary method assumes the essential meaning of a message can be obfuscated yet hinted at by its encoding. Your task is to implement a code snippet that extracts this encoded message from a given word.

Assume secretWord is a variable of type string that has been assigned a value. Write an expression whose value is a string consisting of the first two characters and the last two characters of secretWord$.$ For example, if the value of secretWord were "encryption", the expression's value would be "enon".

Note: To complete the task, assign the expression to a string variable called result that has already been declared.
