Welcome to program Line Counter. As the name suggests this program is intended to count different types of lines that are typically included in plain text files. Those types of lines are for example so–called “code lines” and “comment lines”. Of course “empty lines” are counted too. Additionally, it is possible to count string and character literals.
As special feature of program Line Counter should be mentioned that users are able to define their own file types as well as their own types of comments. This makes this program very powerful.
In contrast to other exiting programs, this line counting utility is able to count comments that are enclosed in code lines, like for example code /* comment */ code. But such a combination of code and comment is by definition evaluated as line of code. Nevertheless, the comment itself will be counted too. For more information about line counting rules please refer to chapter Algorithm.
