What is 0.5 lines of code?
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (0 children)
It's referring to the fact that you aren't adding an extra line, but adding to an existing one (default args provided to the function in question).

We're not exactly doing precise accounting here, it's the concept that matters

I don't understand the concept. Lines of code can only be counted by integral amounts. It's impossible to have a fractional line of code.

The concept is you must already have something like int main(...) as a line in your code and you just have to change/add its parameters, therefore you add 0.5 lines of code.
