No simple answer. Many books have been written about the subject. There were various codes (not just one) in use by the Germans in WW2. The Germans had different codes for the German Foreign Service, Military Intelligence, Navy, Army, Air Force, etc. Some were broken easily, until the Germans changed them. The British, French or Americans would crack them (entirely or a portion) for a short time until the next change. It was a process that never ended and continued the entire pre-war and war period. The most important German Code was code-named by the Allies: "Ultra". It was broken over a period of years. This is probably 'the code' that you have heard about. Google Ultrafor more details.

Diesel-Electric submarines had been in use for years before WWI; there were many commissioned boats on both sides of the war before it even started, so there is no one particular submarine used in WWI. However, the one boat that arguably had the most impact at the beginning of WWI was the German submarine U-20, which was responsible for sinking the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania. This single submarine attack had repercussions throughout the war, causing policy shifts in Germany considering submarine warfare, and which affected submarine warfare in general forever.
