Complexity
==========

Written by Loren Segal in 2009

SYNOPSIS
--------

Calculates the McCabe [cyclomatic complexity][1] index of the methods in your Ruby code.
The calculation is a basic `NUMBER_OF_BRANCHES + 1` calculation which can be used
this calculation to approximate the minimum number of test cases for each of
your methods ([complexity should equal number of test cases][3]). You can also use
this value to find overly complex method and refactor them into simpler ones.

Some more reading can be found at [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8035][1].

USAGE
-----

* Requires [YARD][3]

Syntax: `ruby complexity.rb [--csv] GLOB_OF_FILES`

If you want CSV output, add --csv. `GLOB_OF_FILES` defaults to `lib/**/*.rb`.
