does anybody know where can i find information about program that can
check the similarity between students program? it is quite common that
students copied the source code from their friends, modified it slightly
then submitted the work. common tricks are change the variable's name
globally, inserting meaningless lines, and rearrange the sequence of the
code. to pick out the copied program is not easy and extremely time
consuming. is there any program that can help?
