If repetition is allowed, we can use the concept of combinations with repetition to calculate the number of different four-letter codes that can be formed using the letters A, B, C, D, and E.

For each of the four positions, we have 5 choices (A, B, C, D, or E). Since repetition is allowed, we can choose any of these 5 letters for each position independently.

Therefore, the total number of different four-letter codes with repetition allowed is calculated as:

5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5=5^4=625.

Hence, there are 625 different four-letter codes that can be formed using the letters A, B, C, D, and E when repetition is allowed.
