Alright class, settle down, letās take a look, At ādiffs,ā a term that needs to be hooked! The dictionary gives you a clever phrase, āComparing files in countless ways.ā Let's break it down with a little rhyme, To make this concept truly sublime. "Diffs" means difference, you see, It shows whatās changed for you and me. Think of two versions of a story told, One is older, one fresh and bold. A "diff" program then takes the stage, And highlights changes on every page! It points out additions, deletions too, Showing exactly what's new or untrue. It compares sets of files, thatās quite the task, And gives a clear description ā no need to ask! So remember this, and donāt you fret, "Diffs" are about changes you can detect! Do you have any questions? Let's discuss with glee, Now who can tell me what "diffs" might be?
