Cyclomatic Complexity

Cyclomatic Complexity is a measure used in software development to quantify how complex a program's decision-making is. It counts the number of different paths a program could take based on its decision points, such as if statements or loops. A higher score indicates more decision points and potential paths, which can make the program harder to understand, test, and maintain. Essentially, it helps developers assess and manage the complexity of their code, aiming for simpler, more reliable programs that are easier to troubleshoot and modify.
