Code similarity detection through control statement and program features

作者：

Highlights：

• Methods to identify duplicate codes (code clones) are introduced.

• All four types of clones can be identified.

• Does not require external lexer or parser to process the code.

• Less complex approach compared to AST and PDG based approaches.
