MOSS Scheme

The MOSS (Measure of Software Similarity) scheme is an automated tool used to detect similarities in programming code, often in academic settings to identify potential plagiarism. It analyzes submitted code files, comparing their structure, syntax, and patterns to identify overlapping or copied segments, while allowing for minor modifications. MOSS provides a similarity score indicating how much the code resembles other submissions, helping educators assess originality efficiently. It is a valuable resource for maintaining academic integrity in programming assignments and exams.
