Shouldn't we count characters of code and comments instead of lines of code and comments? [closed]
- by Gabriel
Counting lines of code and comments is sometimes bogus, since most of what we write may be written in one or more lines, depending column count limitations, screen size, style and so forth.
Since the commonly used languages (say C, C++, C# and Java) are free-form, wouldn't it be more clever to count characters instead?
Edit: I'm not considering…
