Comment to Code Ratio is one of the source-code metrics Understand computes across 17+ languages — browse them in the GUI, export and track them, or script them with the Python API.
Comment to Code Ratio
API ID: RatioCommentToCodeLanguages: Ada, Assembly, Basic, C#, C++, Fortran, Java, Jovial, Pascal, Python, Rust, VHDL, Web
Targets: Architectures, Classes, Files, Functions, Modules, Packages, Project, Subprograms
Ratio of comment lines to code lines.
Note that because some lines are both code and comment, this could easily yield percentages higher than 100.
Targets By Language:
- Ada: Project, File, Type, Entry, Function, Package, Procedure, Protected, Task
- Basic: Project, File, Method, Module, Class
- C#: Project, File, Class, Method
- C++: Project, File, Class, Struct, Union, Function
- Fortran: Project, File, Block Data, Function, Program, Subroutine
