Q: Complexity of a code is determined based on _________________.  

✅ Cyclomatic Complexity Number

Explanation:

The complexity of code is primarily determined by Cyclomatic Complexity (CC), which measures the number of linearly independent paths in a program.

Why is it the correct answer?

• Cyclomatic Complexity Number ✅
  • It calculates the control flow complexity of a program based on decision points (if, loops, switches).
  • Higher complexity means harder to test and maintain code.

Why are the others incorrect?

• Efferent Coupling ❌
  • Measures outgoing dependencies of a module, not code complexity.
• Number of Source Lines of Code (SLOC) ❌
  • Measures code length but does not indicate logical complexity.
• Time taken to perform inspection ❌
  • This depends on human effort and does not define complexity mathematically.

Thus, Cyclomatic Complexity Number is the correct answer! 🚀
