Declarative Statements

API ID: CountStmtDecl
Languages: Ada, Assembly, Basic, C#, C++, Fortran, Java, Jovial, Pascal, Python, VHDL, Web
Targets: Architectures, Classes, Files, Functions, Modules, Packages, Project, Subprograms

Number of declarative statements.

A statement that both declares a variable and initializes it with a function call counts as both declarative and executable.

For example:

int main() {
  for (int i = 0;
       i < 10;
       i++)
    ;

  int j = func();
  int k = 0;
  int l = 1;

  int m
    = func();
  int n;
  n = 1;

#ifdef A_VERY_NICE_VARIABLE

  int j = 0;
  cout << j << endl;
#endif

  return 0;
}

The six variable declarations — int i (the for loop's own initializer), int j = func();, int k = 0;, int l = 1;, int m = func();, and int n; — are all declarative, for CountStmtDecl = 6. int j = func(); and int m = func(); also count as executable, since each calls func().

See Executable Statements for the complementary breakdown, and Statements for the total. For the per-language breakdown in web files, see Declarative Statements (JavaScript) and Declarative Statements (PHP).
