Hello,
I am writing a Ruby program that reads a ruby code file and counts the
number of lines of code that are in the file. I do not want to count
the number of lines of code in any methods that may be in the file. I can
look for a line of code that begins with 'def' and I know that the method
will have an 'end' on the last line, but I am trying to figure out how to
not get the 'end' confused with other 'end's that may be inside the method
itself, like 'end's associated with if statements and case statements as an
example.
I was thinking that once I see a 'def' starting a code line I would know
that I am reading in a method, so I would increment an 'end' counter
by 1. I would also increment the end counter each time I read a 'case' or an
'if', or any other expression that required it's own 'end'. Each time I
would read an 'end' I would decrement the 'end' counter, and when it equals
zero, I would know that I read in the entire method, then I could start
counting code lines again.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
