lines of code / number of classes

[mike acre]

In the brief certification description there is mention of 3500 lines of code being the average for sucessful assignments.

My question is what constitutes a line of code?

comments?
just a brace?
blank lines?

how many here for example:
<code>

// a method
void myMethod {
 
}

</code>

personally I'd say 1.

On a related point what constitutes a class for similar code stats quoting purposes?

source files only?
all nested classes?
all top level classes?


Thirdly, how many lines and classes (& define these please) have you produced / are likely to produce for your submission?

TIA

I do not believe that comments are considered lines of code. braces and blank lines should be.

What seems more important, why are you so concerned? How's your project coming along?
