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

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).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are Halstead metrics?

Halstead metrics are a set of software metrics introduced by Maurice Halstead to measure software complexity.

How do these metrics help in software development?

They provide insights into the complexity and maintainability of software code.
