När man jobbar med stora pogrammeringsprojekt är ett av de stora problemen att skriva koden så den går att underhålla. Skriver man kod som är lätt att underhålla är det också enklare att göra tillägg, ändringar och åtgärda problem. I detta projekt har två stora, liknande projekt undersökts för hitta likheter i koden. Om likheterna kan sammanföras till en generisk lösning kommer koden att vara lätWhen working with large programming projects, one of the major problems is to write the code so it can be maintained.
