Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday January 16, 2002 @07:38AM from the thats-pretty-amusing dept.

brightboy writes "According to this Yahoo! News article, Georgia Tech has developed and implemented a "cheating detector"; that is, a program which compares students' coding assignments to each other and detects exact matches. This was used for two undergraduate classes: "Introduction to Computing" (required for any student in the College of Computing) and "Object Oriented Programming" (required for Computer Science majors)." Cuz remember programmers: in the real world you are fired if you consult with a co-worker ;)

Cheating detector written in C... by 11thangel · 2002-01-16 07:39 · Score: 1, Troll

And someone forgot that "=" is the variable set operator, not the comparison operator, which is "==", so suddenly the cheating detector gave a lot of people F's...
