Authoritative Data Source
All calculations are based on Halstead's metrics as described in the original publication here. All calculations are rigorously based on the formulas and data provided by this source.
The Formula Explained
Volume = (Operators + Operands) * log2(Operators + Operands)
Glossary of Variables
- Operators: The unique operators in the code.
- Operands: The unique operands in the code.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
Assume you have 20 operators and 30 operands, the volume is calculated as follows: Volume = (20 + 30) * log2(20 + 30).
