 That is probably your reaction reading this title, and no, this isn&rsquo;t a randomly generated sentence, but rather a simple encryption algorithm I recently made (Actually the first encryption algorithm i make at all!!). Meet <b>Cherry-Crystal Encryption</b>.

 This encryption Algorithm that we will call <b>CCE</b> for short, takes inspiration from the Caesar cipher which needn&rsquo;t an introduction (you can find great explanations online). But what about mine you might ask ?

+<p>
+<del>What is it with these names I pick ?</del> Anyways, the <b>sloth(char *cherry, char *crystal, int *mask)</b> void function takes as parameters three variables:
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li>A pointer to a <b>char array</b> or simply said <b>a string</b>, It&rsquo;s the <b>Cherry</b>.</li>
+<li>Another pointer to the <b>Crystal</b>.</li>
+<li>And Finally, a pointer to an array of integers <b>The Mask</b> which will be output-ed by the function.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+The general idea of it is like this : (we will use a quick example)
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li><b>Cherry</b>:  H e l l o \0.</li>
+<li><b>Crystal</b>: W o r l d \0.</li>
+<li>Cherry[0] here is <b>H</b>, or in ASCII <b>72</b>. And Crystal[0] is <b>W</b> or <b>87</b>.</li>
+<li>Mask[0] in this case is : Cherry[0] - Crystal[0]. which is <b>-15</b>. We then repeat the same steps for each letter on the <b>Crystal</b>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Why the emphasis on <b>Crystal</b> ? Because we might end up with a case of a Crystal larger than a Cherry. we set the offset to the ASCII value of <b>Crystal[i]</b>, okay which to be fair is not the safest option out there, but I&rsquo;m planning on fixing it sooner or later. In the case of a large Cherry but a small Crystal&#x2026;it works but now looking at the code, i have no idea why it works the intended way&#x2026;.

+<p>
+The function <b>moon(char *cherry, char *crystal, int *mask, int length)</b> works the same way as the sloth function, but in reverse and a small change.
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li><b>The for loop goes through all the elements of the Mask and reconstructing the Crystal using the reverse equation of the encryption</b>. But when it arrives at the end of the <b>Cherry</b> (here we enter the case of a Cherry smaller than a Crystal). Then we will just assume that <b>Mask[i]</b> is the ASCII code of <b>Crystal[i]</b>, and we continue this assumption until the end of the loop.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+And voila that&rsquo;s it. Of course there might be some things I will change, but the overall concept is here!
