Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Not handling trailing newlines

Solution: Text ending with \n might count an extra blank line. "A\nB\n" = 2 or 3 lines? Check if tool counts trailing.

⚠️

Confusing lines with sentences

Solution: Line count ≠ sentence count. "Hello. World." on one line is 1 line but 2 sentences. Use sentence counter instead.

⚠️

Wrong empty line handling

Solution: Some tools count all lines, others skip empty. For LOC metrics, usually exclude blanks and comments.
