How is the SLOC-L metric (logical lines) determined?

The SLOC-L metric follows the definition from the USC CodeCount tool. Specifically, the SLOC-L is computed by summing the terminal semicolons and terminal curly braces.

Please verify that the C&SLOC is a line that contains code and comment? If this is the case, is this calculation included in the LOC or in the CLOC?

x = y; // comment

  • This line is counted as a line of code, SLOC-P.
  • This line is counted as a line of code with a comment, C&SLOC.
  • This line is not counted as a comment, CLOC.
