| How many lines of code are there in your favorite app? |
Codebases : Millions of lines of Code is one of those visualisations that I came across which shows the massive complexity of today's modern apps and programs. Is a million lines of code a lot? how many lines are there in Windows? Facebook? Youtube? Iphone apps?
The creator, McCandless and his team use the matrix of squares to represent scale
The range is extraordinary: the average iPhone app has less than 50,000 lines of code, while Google’s entire code base is two billion lines for all services. And interestingly, the code behind machines such as fighter jets, popular video game engines fall somewhere in between these two extremes.
