## File Average Metrics Report

The File Average Metrics Report provides averages for the functions within a file. All lines outside any function are ignored when calculating the averages. The following metrics are provided for each function:

- Cyclomatic. The average number of independent paths through the functions in this file. The higher this metric the more likely a program unit is to be difficult to test and maintain without error.
- Modified. Same as Cyclomatic complexity except that each case statement is not counted; the entire switch statement counts as 1.
- Strict. Same as Cyclomatic complexity except that && and || also count as 1.
- Lines. Average number of lines in the functions in this file.
- Code. Average number of lines that contain any code in the functions in this file.
- Comment. Average number of comment lines in the functions in this file.
- Blank. Average number of blank lines in the functions in this file.
