<overview>
<p>This metric measures the number of lines of code in a function. This excludes comments and blank lines.</p>
<p>Having too many lines of code in a function is an indication that it can be split into several functions of more manageable size.</p>
</overview>
<recommendation>
<p>Long functions should be examined to see if they can be split into smaller, more cohesive functions.</p>
