During the 9th week, I worked on level properties and got it merged.

What I did this week

I opened the level properties PR and made a few changes as suggested by my mentor. As soon as I was done with that, I started working on merging iterators which is a pre-requisite for code generation.

What is coming up next

I'm planning to focus on getting iterator merge and deduplication merged next week.

What is coming up next

I will focus on getting level properties merged and work on the deduplication loop next week

XSPARSE Week - 7

The 7th week was the week of the mid-term evaluation.

What I did this week

Unfortunately, I couldn't work this week as I had fever and body ache. I updated my mentor regarding the same and that I would resume work once I recovered.

What is coming up next

The next part will involve me working on level properties and the new paper that my mentor asked me to refer to.

XSPARSE Week - 6

In the 6th week, I worked fully on updating the API of containers.

What I did this week

I worked on a new PR this week which creates new container traits which can be used in the levels instead of hard coding them. This makes it more flexible as users can specify their own containers.

What is coming up next

My mentor suggested another paper from which we will be implementing deduplication and reordering. The main aim for the next week is to wrap up the container traits and understand the approaches mentioned in the paper.

Did I get stuck anywhere

I did get stuck while working with template template parameters but my mentor helped me resolve the doubt.

The 5th week was reserved for fixing the insert/append PR and moving on to level properties.

What I did this week

I completed the PR and fixed the tests and made some minor changes before the PR was merged. I had a discussion with my mentor regarding level properties and we decided that some changes to the API will be required.

What is coming up next

The next immediate goal is to wrap up level properties and brainstorm regarding code generation. The first half of the project needs to be finalized before the first review. 

Did I get stuck anywhere

I did not get stuck anywhere, there were only some minor fixes which I could fix on my own.
