+## Goal
+
+The goal of this assignment is to experimentally evaluate Linear probing
+hash table with different systems of hash functions.
+
+You are given a test program (`hash_experiment`) which implements everything
+needed to perform the following experiments:
+
+- _Grow test:_ This test tries different sizes $N$ of the hash table and for each size
+  it inserts small keys in random order until 60% of the table is used
+  and then it performs lookup operation for keys $0,\ldots,N-1$.
+- _Usage test:_ This test uses hash table of size $2^20$. It performs insertions
+  to increase usage of the table by 1%, reports efficiency of the insert operation,
+  and repeats until usage of the table reaches 90%.
+
+Both test measure number of probed buckets per operation, are repeated 40 times
+and report average and standard deviation. Note that even with 40 repetitions
+the reported numbers still depend quite a lot on the random seed used.
+
+You should perform these experiments for 5 different classes of hash functions –
+tabulation, multiply-shift which uses top bits of 32-bit word (`ms-low`),
+multiply-shift which uses low bits of u
