LOC

LOC - Line of Codes

I was asked by our current development boss Josie to check out programs that can count the lines of codes from the source code of our project. Having looked through them, comparing each other if their resulting statistics are similar, I decided on using LocMetrics.

Counting lines of codes, logical lines of codes, blank lines of codes, is not consistent with all applications as each LOC application uses different algorithms to implement this. However, what I liked about LocMetrics (aside from the fact that it is free) is that it provides us with statistics and summary, and even creates excel files for the data extracted. It also has support for C#, C, SQL, Java. In addition, its application is just sized at around 530kb.
