Xing Pan’s diary Week 01



Based on what we discussed in our group meeting, I gradually understand the targets of our project. I was confused at the beginning of the starting week as I didn’t know how to get started and I was not sure for the direction we go for. It is getting better after a couple of times meeting with the group members on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Everything is much clearer than before.  And I also checked the lecture notes that I have learned earlier which are csci262 and csci361. In addition, I spent pretty much time on the understanding of HASH function to figure out what that is and its properties.  Here are the links to clear up understanding of the hash function.
