A query about clustering Idea

[MURTUZA BOHRA]

Hello sir!

Thank you for your gentle reply, I have visited to the github repository
before but the code was not commented properly still I am trying to
understand and figure out the redundant task in the algorithm by reading
the code. For the same I asked you if there is any other document or
information is available with you which can help me to understand it better
would be great. It's okay if there is no documentation available!

Sir one more query, I am to write a proposal for this project so how
difficult would it be if I write the code freshly for my algorithm or will
it be better to use the previous code and make corrections into it.

Thanks
