Enhancing understandability of code using code clones

A system of enhancing code understandability comprising:

• a server associated with a processor;
• a computer network associated with the processor,
• wherein the processor receives a request to enhance code understandability through the computer network,
• wherein the processor identifies a patch of code associated with a user request,
• wherein the processor searches over the computer network through a code clone detection engine for another patch of code similar to the patch of code associated with the user request;
• a parser associated with the server to parse the patch of code and another patch of code wherein the server identifies through a comment extraction engine comments associated with the parsed patches of code and stores the comments in a project repository;
• a comment ranker associated with the server device to generate a ranking for the comments identified by the comment extraction engine;
• and
• a report generation tool associated with the computer network to generate a report.
