Code segments are similar or identical to each other by copy-paste the original code at
different locations with or without modifications are called code clones. Code clones are
either by intentional or unintentional. In software development reprocess, the original code is
most common. If any bug exists in original code segment, the bug remains in all the cloned
code. As a result, bug propagation in cloning process affects in software maintenance.
Detection and corrections are required. Code clone detection appears as an ongoing …

Code cloning in software systems has gained significant development in past few years.
Cloning is a general mean of reusing software as existing code snippets can be utilized
either by copy and paste methods or by minor modifications in the current code in software
systems. However, this may lead to produce bugs and maintenance issues. A plethora of
various code clone detection
