What is cyclomatic complexity
Cyclomatic complexity is a computer science metric
(measurement) developed by Thomas McCabe used to generally
measure the complexity of a program. It directly measures
the number of linearly independent paths through a programs
source code.
The concept, although not the method, is somewhat similar to
that of general text complexity measured by the
Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test.
Cyclomatic complexity is computed using a graph that
describes the control flow of the program. The nodes of the
graph correspond to the commands of a program. A directed
edge connects two nodes, if the second command might be
executed immediately after the first
command. By definition,
CC = E - N + P
where
CC = cyclomatic complexity
E = the number of edges of the graph
N = the number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components
