Line Counter for Code and Programming
A line counter is a simple tool that helps you count the total number of lines in a text. For developers, it is commonly used as a code line counter to measure the size of source code files.
This tool works with any programming text, regardless of language, and provides instant results.
Code Line Counter – Count Lines of Code Instantly
A code line counter allows you to count lines of code (LOC) without installing any software.
Depending on requirements, line counts may include:
- Code lines
- Empty lines
- Comment lines
This page provides a straightforward way to count all lines exactly as they appear in your text.
Character Counter for Programming Text
A character counter for programming measures the total number of characters in source code, including letters, symbols, spaces, and punctuation.
Character count is useful when:
- Platforms enforce character limits
- Comparing code size across versions
- Preparing code snippets for documentation
This tool counts characters with spaces, which reflects the actual text length.
How to Count Lines of Code
To count lines of code using this tool:
- Paste your source code into the text box
- View the total line count instantly
- Check character count for additional analysis
No file upload or registration is required.
Common Use Cases for a Line Counter
A line counter is commonly used for:
- Programming assignments with line limits
- Measuring code size during development
- Quick code reviews and comparisons
- Preparing code for online submission or documentation
Does This Tool Count Empty Lines?
This line counter counts lines exactly as they appear in the text, including empty lines. Always check submission requirements for specific rules.
Does It Count Comment Lines in Code?
Comment lines are counted as lines of text. Whether comments should be included depends on the context.
Is Line Count the Same as Lines of Code (LOC)?
Line count is a raw measurement. Lines of Code (LOC) may be defined differently across tools and organizations.
Which Programming Languages Are Supported?
This tool works with any programming language, including but not limited to:
- JavaScript
- Python
- Java
- C / C++
- PHP
Because it analyzes text structure, language-specific parsing is not required.
