A query regarding SHA256 Algorithm

I am trying to code SHA256 from scratch to understand its implementation based on the wiki pseudo code as its clear enough. But I am running into problems with the calculation of W[i] for the first block. I am sure I am missing the logic somewhere. Given a data string of size 80 Bytes (in Hex): "02000000aaf8ab82362344f49083ee4edef795362cf135293564c4070000000000000000c009bb6222e9bc4cdb8f26b2e8a2f8d163509691a4038fa692abf9a474c9b21476800755c02e17181fe6c1c3"

After padding it results in the data string of 128 Bytes (in Hex): "02000000aaf8ab82362344f49083ee4edef795362cf135293564c4070000000000000000c009bb6222e9bc4cdb8f26b2e8a2f8d163509691a4038fa692abf9a474c9b21476800755c02e17181fe6c1c3800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000280"

Now this is split into 2 chunks of 64 Byte each: "02000000aaf8ab82362344f49083ee4edef795362cf135293564c4070000000000000000c009bb6222e9bc4cdb8f26b2e8a2f8d163509691a4038fa692abf9a4"

"74c9b21476800755c02e17181fe6c1c3800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000280"

Now when we start processing the first chunk how do we populate the 64-entry message schedule array w[0..63] of 32-bit words. Wiki says: "(The initial values in w[0..63] don't matter, so many implementations zero them here)" copy chunk into first 16 words w[0..15] of the message schedule array

So I try to populate the message schedule array as as follows:

W[0]=0200

W[1]=0000

W[2]=aaf8

W[3]=ab82

W[4]=3623 and so on upto W[15].

The values W[16] to W[63] are all set to 0.

But these values seem incorrect. What am I doing wrong here. Can someone please point to what is wrong here?

W[0]=0200

Here's your problem - with SHA-256, each word is 32 bits, not 16.

So, this should be:

W[0] = 02000000 
W[1] = aaf8ab82
W[2] = 362344f4

etc...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
