@@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ The relation between the Effective Address and the Segment & Offset is as follow
 **Effective address = 16 x segment + offset** keep in mind that this equation is encoded in decimal, which will change soon as we use Hexadecimal for convention reasons.
 
 **** Example :
-Let the Physical address (Or Effective Address, these two terms are enterchangeable) *12345h* (the h refers to Hexadecimal, which can also be written like this *0x12345*), the register *DS = 1230h* and the register *SI = 0045h*, the CPU calculates the physical address by multiplying the content of the segment register *DS* by 10h (or 16) and adding the content of the register *SI*. so we get : *1230h x 10h + 45h = 12345h*

 Now if you are a clever one ( I know you are, since you are reading this <3 ) you may say that the physical address *12345h* can be written in more than one way....and you are right, more precisely : *2^{12} = 4096* different ways !!!

  The program has been tested both on Alpine OS with Musl libc (thanks [[https://kaa.neocities.org/][Kin]]) and on OpenBSD 7.5-current. In the close future I will make a git repo as i'm planning to upgrade it and just make it better overall, who knows, maybe i will make a library out of it!!
+
+
+* How does it work ?
+** Slothing (Encrypting) 🦥:
++What is it with these names I pick ?+ Anyways, the *sloth(char *cherry, char *crystal, int *mask)* void function takes as parameters three variables:
+
+- A pointer to a *char array* or simply said *a string*, It's the *Cherry*.
+- Another pointer to the *Crystal*.
+- And Finally, a pointer to an array of integers *The Mask* which will be output-ed by the function.
+
+
+The general idea of it is like this : (we will use a quick example)
+
+- *Cherry*:  H e l l o \0.
+- *Crystal*: W o r l d \0.
+- Cherry[0] here is *H*, or in ASCII *72*. And Crystal[0] is *W* or *87*.
+- Mask[0] in this case is : Cherry[0] - Crystal[0]. which is *-15*. We then repeat the same steps for each letter on the *Crystal*.
+
+Why the emphasis on *Crystal* ? Because we might end up with a case of a Crystal larger than a Cherry. we set the offset to the ASCII value of *Crystal[i]*, okay which to be fair is not the safest option out there, but I'm planning on fixing it sooner or later. In the case of a large Cherry but a small Crystal...it works but now looking at the code, i have no idea why it works the intended way....
+
+
+** Mooning (Decrypting) 🌕:
+The function *moon(char *cherry, char *crystal, int *mask, int length)* works the same way as the sloth function, but in reverse and a small change.
+
+- *The for loop goes through all the elements of the Mask and reconstructing the Crystal using the reverse equation of the encryption*. But when it arrives at the end of the *Cherry* (here we enter the case of a Cherry smaller than a Crystal). Then we will just assume that *Mask[i]* is the ASCII code of *Crystal[i]*, and we continue this assumption until the end of the loop.
+
+
+And voila that's it. Of course there might be some things I will change, but the overall concept is here!
