Analiz...OfCode(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

so like, this is the manual page for Analizo::Metric::LinesOfCode (it's a 3pm page, aka Perl, bestie 💅), and it does exactly one iconic thing: it's the Lines of Code (LOC) metric. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the way this metric works? the calculation is based on the following article, and what it does is calculate the program size in lines of code, and it does that while excluding blank lines and comments. so no padding your numbers with vibes and whitespace, we're counting real ones only. periodt. ✨

Article: The Lines of Code Metric as a Predictor of Program Faults: A Critical Analysis by Taghi M. Khoshgoftaar and John C. Munson.

ngl, go look at the paragraph about Lines of Code in that article, because it says this, fr fr:

A description of the specific quantitative complexity data collected for each program is as follows:

and then it hits you with:

... program size in lines of code (non-comment, non-blank lines) in program (LOC).

like, non-comment AND non-blank, both, at the same time. the pickiness is the point, and honestly? we respect it. 👑
