Object-oriented programming today, is the main prototype in typical software development. Code Cloning defines generally, all through the designing and development of software systems. Detection can be based on Textual analysis, Lexical analysis, Syntax analysis, Semantic analysis, Hybrid analysis and Metric analysis. The major drawback of the present research is that it focuses more on fragments of copied code and does not focus on the aspect that the fragments of duplicated code are may be part of a larger replicated program structure. In this process, techniques take a lot of time and it creates complexity. In our research, a source code is then scanned for detecting various methods by adopting a “OPTIMIZED SVM ALGORITHM” and the method definitions are extracted and collected by means of a CLONE CODE and saved for further reference. To evaluate the performance parameters we calculate the LOC, the number of repetitions, and maximum and minimum LOC. To enhance the performance metrics precision recall, accuracy and reduce the error rate and time complexity
