Abstract
Plagiarism of software source code is a serious problem in two distinct areas of endeavor—cheating by students at schools and intellectual property theft at corporations. A number of algorithms have been implemented to check source code files for plagiarism, each with their strengths and weaknesses. This invention detects plagiarism by comparing statements within source code of a first program to comments within source code of a second program.
