erichansen1836:

Considering that the code takes no input and simply prints a fixed data sequence to a file, in what way does it encode anything?

If "works great for me" means "it prints the fixed sequence I want", fine. But the misleading encoding/encrypting documentation should be removed. On the other hand, if the documentation specifies the intended functionality, you probably ought to finish writing the code.
