 ## Usage
 `uv run main.py [0-58] [0-58] [0-58] '[message]' 'e|d' [int]`
 
+Where:
+- 0-58 [integer] is the first seed value
+- 0-58 [integer] is the second seed value
+- 0-58 [integer] is the third seed value
+- message is the message to be encrypted/decrypted
+- e|d is the direction of the message (encrypt or decrypt)
+- int is the number of iterations to be made (not yet implemented)
 
+## Examples
+`uv run main.py  32 15 1 'This is a test.' 'e' 3`
