This project is a Code Plagiarism Checker designed to identify and highlight similarities between source code files. It serves as a tool for developers, educators, and organizations to ensure the integrity of code submissions and detect potential instances of plagiarism.
- File Comparison: Utilizes advanced algorithms to compare source code files and identify similarities.
- Configurable Thresholds: Allows users to set similarity thresholds based on their specific requirements.
- Multi-Language Support: Supports various programming languages for comprehensive plagiarism detection.
- User-Friendly Interface: Provides an easy-to-use command-line interface for efficient code analysis.

Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/code-plagiarism-checker.git
-
Install dependencies:
cd code-plagiarism-checker pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd code-plagiarism-checker -
Run the code plagiarism checker:
python plagiarism_checker.py -d /path/to/code/directory
Replace
/path/to/code/directorywith the path to the directory containing the source code files you want to analyze. -
Adjust settings as needed:
python plagiarism_checker.py -d /path/to/code/directory -t 0.85 -l python,java
-tsets the similarity threshold (default is 0.80).-lspecifies the programming languages to consider (default is all supported languages).
