What is a Diff Checker?
A "Diff" (Difference) Checker is a utility that takes two inputs—usually text files or code snippets—and compares them character by character or line by line. It highlights exactly what has been added, removed, or changed.
This is an essential tool for:
- Programmers: To see what changed in a code file before committing it to GitHub.
- Writers: To see edits made to a draft article.
- Students: To compare two versions of an essay.
How to Read the Output
