You may save time now, but it's gonna bite you in the ass later on. DES is a pretty important algorithm. Plus, this'll help build practice for more advanced algorithms, like ECDSA.
Also, most of those programming blog articles were probably not written with your specific needs in mind. At least they're there. It's an effort.
Naming though, yeah. Inexcusable. -
@RememberMe I wasn't planning to copy paste code in any case. I only wanted to clarify how to implement the XOR part of it coz I read conflicting materials that left me confused.
And programming blogs that merely copy paste code shouldn't exist. Code that's intended to explain something with improper variable names should have the authors found and shot dead.
Everyone always says the previous developer was crap, sometimes you're right
bad code that works 👍

Maintaining software built by interns who have all quit by now and made zero documentation
Why the fuck are there so many utterly useless programming blogs? I have to implement DES in C++ for our college project. After coding most of it step by step, I decided to swallow my pride and check for an implementation online to save time because I was confused in the XOR part. Now most programming blogs had the same code copy pasted. To top that, NAME YOUR FUCKING VARIABLES PROPERLY YOU MORONS! I decided I'm better off resolving my confusions the hard way.

bad code
name your shit better
