how many lines in your program?
Author
I frequently hear people talking about writing 1000 lines of code for this project or 10 000 lines for that. First of all, 1000 lines isnt that much is it? I could be wrong, but isnt that just a couple of functions, in maybe 2 or 3 source files?
Anyway, Im using vc++ and i have about 30 files in my current project (15 header and 15 cpp approx). Is there an easy way to get vc++ to count all the lines in my project so i know how many lines i wrote?
Also, when people say 1000 lines of code, does that include whitespace and really trivial code? Does it include comments? for example,
I'd count it as 5...
edit: but as for how people usually count their programs, I usually round down a bit. for instance....
I've got a small two thousand line project...

I don''t believe there is an official standard about this since it''s not a very useful way to measure code but I''d simply count all lines including comments, whitespaces and preprocessor definitions.
Why would you not count "trivial code"?
In my experience, without that "trivial code" your program wouldn''t work

http://www.wndtabs.com/ provides a nice little line counting plugin for visual studio 6/7.

Token count would be much more interesting than line count.
12 tokens
12 tokens
int main() { cout << "hello world" << endl; } 12 tokens
int main(){cout << "hello world" << endl;} 12 tokens
token count numbers would be huge for any project

Does it really matter? My current project is about 25000 lines at the moment, woohoo, yay for me... *sighs*. It''s the quality of code you write not the quantity.
Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.

No python you fail to realize that you NEED to know the number of lines in your project! What else would you put in your sig besides esoteric metal lyrics?

Agreed. That said, I probably would count comments. Comments are an important part of writing code.
