Hi, how to do encrypt and decrypt the text by using md5 algorithm without using the any library? Only implement in c++ program.

MD5 is a hash algorithm, not an encryption algorithm. Hashes are irreversible.

md5 is not an encryption algorithm. It's a hash algorithm. A hash only goes one way, so you can't normally restore the original data from it.

MD5 is a one way hash, it does not encrypt and decrypt text.
