    What's the line count of the biggest project you ever worked on? All lines (blank, comment, curlies). I'm asking because Code Complete charts usually end of at 512K, which seems a bit low for this book. one of many tools to count them, reporting KLOC = 1000 lines of code[^] [edit] I don't need you to agree that lines of code is a measure for anything else but lines of code [/edit] -- modified at 19:14 Sunday 21st January, 2007

    Well, I don't know the linecount on microsoft biztalk projects, as MS only provides me with graphical stuff for that. But my largest project for school was an FTP client for IPv6, it contained about 30k lines of code.

      About 1.5 million lines. Scarily, it was an MFC project. :eek: Our current project (Visual Lint) currently weighs in at a total of 94,963 lines - and there's not a line of MFC in there. :)

          Mine was an estate planning program that was just over 1.1 million lines of code when I left the company, and they were only about half done with it.

            In a nutshell, it ran hardware that tracked the position of paper moving through a printing press at up to 17 feet per second, and it did it to an accuracy of 1/1200th of an inch. We make high speed ink jet printing systems, and placing dots accurately at speed is a basic requirement.

              Ah, so the number of newlines? Have you seen my code? I've had at least one person on here ask if I was trying to drive people blind. The more newlines the better I say.

              Same here. I use a fair number of newlines in my code to improve readability for me. Any time the context or focus changes in a block of code, there are newlines to separate things.

                Don't remember the exact number for the biggest project but somewhere around 800 (optimization of sewer network). my current project is lot smaller but the application seems to have some problems with it:-D File Count: 44209 File Size: -1714938k K-LOC Rating: 24065.697 Average K-LOC: 0.544 I'm deeply impressed by the file size... NOT

                    21 kLOC with whitespace and comments removed.

                      I had over a 1,600,000 lines in: (Are you ready?) C++ 6.0 SAP R/3 VB 6.0 PERL and Linux Shell Script Took almost 4 years to write it. It ran globally on Windows NT 4.0 MTS servers, HPUX, Oracle, Sybase and SAP R/3. It was a good experience but the VB 6.0 part took years off my life I got so tired of saying, "What do you mean you cannot do that in VB?" That would have been my on my head stone for sure had I died at all during that time. I finally had to get in touch personally and work directly with Matthew Curland the dude who wrote intellisense for the VS 6.0 IDE and the author of "Power VB Advanced Techniques for Everyday Users". He showed me how to inject assembly into VB and I was off and to the races. I had one VB App running totally Free-Threading flawlessly. Took the application run-time down from 48 hours to just a little over 1 hour. Curland is a stud!

                      Yeah surrrrrrrree you did. That would work out to be 192.3 lines of code per hour. NOT. And for sure you didn't write all that by yourself anyway. Get real. Only posts I will beleive are those showing the line count in VS using LineCounter.

                        Okay time to relax. "What was the biggest project you ever worked on?" In no way implies "What was the most lines of code you wrote in a project by yourself?". Take it easy and relax. Nowhere did I claim I wrote all of that. Did I? 6 of us worked on it for 2.5 years and I had sole ownership for 1.5 years after that. I'm glad you will only believe your assumptions. You'll learn a lot more that way.:suss:

                          Coded these myself. HW CDU Project[^] and this one which will be as large when I get done: B206-BIII Project[^] Each of these projects also has a tremendous amount of artwork that I also do. Several hundred painted textures each.

                            Oh, I completely understood the original intent of the question, and assumed nothing, unlike you assuming I did not. I merely was calling you out on your unspoken implication, since you never mentioned a team in your post. Glad you cleared that up.
