Code Copying

Question

Many people work extremely hard to create great codes, but it is noticeable that sometimes these codes are copied.

It's not great for someone to create a code and then discover that somebody else has copied it. There have been many times that I have come across two identical codes, and sometimes the person that has copied the code hasn't even bothered to change anything.

I don't think this is right.

I would like to know what you guys think, post what your opinion on this is.

Answer 2

As a programmer you can use any resources you can find. Yes it's advised to go against copying Someone else's code, but if you have a problem and he has the answer... I'd recommend taking it, implement it and LEARN from it.

Some people don't have time to spend on a problem that would take them a while, thus they'd search the internet for a quick easy solution.

But plagiarism is a serious offence and universities or schools shall not accept it as a final project
