2. Implementation of Halstead matrices using Java bytecode (50 points)
Effort
This is a measure of effort. It is computed by
[Difficulty] * [Program Volume]
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Number of Operands
This is the number of operands used in the scope.
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Number of Operators
This is the number of operators used in the scope.
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Number of Unique Operands
This is the number of unique operands used in the scope.
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Number of Unique Operators
This is the number of unique operators used in the scope.
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Program Length
This is an estimation of the size of the program. It is computed by
[Number Of Operators] + [Number Of Operands]
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Program Vocabulary
This is an estimation of the size of the program's vocabulary (the number of things that must be known to understand
the program). It is computed by
[Number Of Unique Operators] + [Number Of Unique Operands]
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
Program Volume
This is an estimation of the size of the program. It is computed by
[Program Length] * log2([Program Vocabulary])
Applicability
This metric can be computed for any method or method container.
