As usual, ppl like u are full of bluff. I said y ur claim was likely a lie.
You turned to copy and paste - huh!!
Now it's selling pepper. Empty hollow poster.
That's y this room goes no where!!!

asalimpo:
copy and paste other people's code? ARe you even logical?
@the bolded. Then count the lines of borrowed codes as your output!
For frustration,you've got it backwards.
Frustrated over what? not being able to write 100k loc or not being able
to get a software to do what it was meant to do?
You and nobody can pour out 100k lines of code without herculean cost in a year!!
That's what i'm saying because, there's a human limit to your output measured in lines of code per hour!!
Get the jerk.
Stop being ignorant.
Your article was a lie.
Like i said, 100k will take your btw 2000 (i'm being very very lenient here) - 4000+ hrs.
Do you code for 2000hrs a year!! you think 2000 hrs is joke! record the time on your projects and lets see when it hits the first 1000hrs!!
Dont come and spout crap.
Also by the time the project starts hitting a few thousand lines, you dont code fast, you have to think of design choices that will prevent your from massive headache cuz if the architecture isnt robust, at larger code sizes, say more thousands of lines of code, refactoring it to make changes to accomodate design chances can take you weeks if not months.!!!
Even pumping out 100k loc in 3 years is a massive achievement.
Again,use ur head. Can u work 4000hrs a year,just on coding - sure certainly. But,
that's ~ 333hrs/month, which is ~11hrs/day!. For 1 year!!
if you work 11hrs a dy for one year, yes you could hit 100k loc. is it possible . Yes,
feasible yes. Easy!! No!!!
You practically have to live at your computer for 1 year!!
Stop being daft and bluffing over here.

asalimpo:
Not very possible sir.
No matter how fast you code,whether its python or whatever, on a long project, your output per hour converges on an average.
That's y 100k/year is herculean. Again,i repeat,not very possible. But possible with ernomous effort.
I've pumped out , 500 lines at a stretch a couple of times, does that mean my output converges on 83lines/per hour? The answer is yes and no. For short projects , say less than 40hrs. it will be more but for long projects, say 100+ hrs, the output will approach a limit. Also with large projects, lots of refactoring means removing redudant codes, making the program as short and dense as possible, eliminating verbosity,
etc - so as a good progrmmer,you'll be removing more code than your put in. In the end, your output should be circa 20+ - at most 40+ lines/hr.
Do the math.

actually a 100k/lines can be done in 4000 - 2000 hrs. i.e at btw 50/lines hr to 25/lines hr.
Can it be done in a year? Sure. work 400hrs/month and you've done it in 10 months at 25/lines hr.
Or work 400 hrs a month and you've done it in 5 months (working at 50 lines/hr) but 50 lines is just a theoretical limit. I know no one operating at that speed. And 400hrs/month is a herculean undertaking.
It's immense.
Eitherway, pumping out 100k/yr is not easy. Not a cake walk. You'll literally have to work full time to reach that target in a year-hence that article by the op was likely very likely a farce. Bluff.

asalimpo:
in response to the claim made by the poster of this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/3391067/how-many-lines-code-largest
by seunthomas.

you cant write a 100k lines of code in a year. Why?
There's a limit to your average output.
it will range btween say 20+ - 30+ lines of code /hr.
if you're very fast it will be maybe 40.
I assume your are working on solving a problem instead of just coding against some design handed down
by some1 else who'se fleshed out all the issues and designed the program,leaving you with just the task of coding to specs.

if so, 100k loc will take btw 4000hrs/25lines per hour to 2500/40loc per hour.
even if we get very generous and say - you're a speed demon and code at the rate of 50 lines/hr,
2 000 hrs is still a huge workload.
Note this isnt hours spent getting to work, idle chatting , idle browsing, or being stuck in traffic.
as is counted in typical work.
It's time spend pondering and solving and designing and coding.

it can be done in one year but would be a herculean task no matter how u look at it that will require not only full time dedication but complete shut out of any other work and a very focused lifestyle all year long . This is unlikely to be the case for many.
So based on this,i say, it's very unlikely for a coder to pull off 100k/loc per year.


To compute your coding average:
divide the lines of code on ur current project or other projects if you record the input (i.e the time cost)
by the lines of code in the source files of the project.
An average figure will begin to emerge.

Good evening, am almost done creating my first hybrid android app, it works very well but am stuck somewhere about controlling user access. Please can i get your phone number, I'll prefer talking to you about it. Thanks a lot

privatetisa:
I need a 'statistical' mobile app. Can you develop it for me?
A brief 'statement algorithm' of the app is:
1.)Do
2.)Do
3.)Do
4.)Select any 5 different numbers from numbers 00 to 89.
5.) Put the 5 numbers selected randomly in a list labelled ListA; eg ListA = {74 37 00 89 10}.
6.) Create an updatable list (that I'll be able to update from time to time). This list will be labelled ListB. It is a list of infinite series of random numbers selected from 00 to 89; eg, ListB = {23 56 77 03 65 65 71 15 23 32 30 48 ......}.
7.) 'ListC = ListA intersection ListB'
3b.)Until
8.) Number of elements/items (or cardinality) of ListC >= 26..
9.) Take the last element in List C and count the number of elements between where it is as the last element and where it appears before its last appearance.
2b.)Until
10.) The number obtained/counted in (9.) above is between 6 and 9; ie, 6<=count<=9.
Example: Count{...... 12 58 87 43 09 67 12} = 6
11.) Then count the number of elements between the appearance of the element at its first to the last position and its second to the last position.
1b.)Until
12.) The number obtained/counted in (11.) above is between 16 and 25; ie, 16<=count<=25.
Example: Count{..... 12 34 68 79 32 11 54 34 69 80 89 65 74 19 05 05 06 12 58 87 43 09 67 12} = 17.

13.) Output (a.) the count in (9.), eg, {6};
(b.) the count in (11.), eg, {17}; and,
(c.) the last number/element in ListC, eg, {12}.

End.

I want to see this glass solution still o!

DanielTheGeek:
Lol, I would've really loved to see you eat my money... Should I reopen the challenge till tomorrow?

DanielTheGeek:
You have tried bro.

4kings:
But were you able to compile any sample code successfully?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class Help{
private  File file;

protected File createFile(String filename){
   try{ 
   file = new File(filename);
 
 if (!file.exists()) {
  file.createNewFile();
}


}
catch(Exception ex){
    ex.printStackTrace();
    }
 
 return file;   
    }
    
public String readFile(String filename){
String output="";
   try{ 
   file = new File(filename);
 
 FileReader fr = new FileReader(file.getAbsolutePath());
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

			String data;

			while ((data = br.readLine()) != null) {
			output = output + data ;
			}
 
}
catch(Exception ex){
    ex.printStackTrace();
    }
return output;
}

public void appendToFile(String filename,String data){

try
{
    boolean append=true;
    writeToFile(filename, data,append);
}
catch(Exception ex)

}

//String filename
//String data to write
//boolean append or just write
public void writeToFile(String filename,String data,boolean append){

    File f = createFile(filename);
    FileWriter fwrite = new FileWriter(f.getAbsoluteFile(),append); 
    fwrite.write(data); 
    fwrite.close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
   ex.printStackTrace();
}

}

public File[] getDir(String dir){
 
File folder = new File(dir);
File[] files = folder.listFiles();
return files;
}



public static void main(String args[]){
String filename="test.txt";
Help hlp = new Help();
hlp.writeToFile(filename,"Hello World\n",false);
for(int i=0;i<=1000;i++){
    
    hlp.appendToFile(filename,"Hello World "+String.valueOf(i)+"\n" ) ;
    
    }
}

Hi webmasters and programmers.
A friend of mine needs someone good to help her build a url shortener site like , tinyurl, etc

She wants to be paying $3 for every 1,000 shortened link that is visited.


Tinyurl

Has anyone done it?
Can you work on this project?

dhtml118:
My eyes don dey gum, i don sleep be that.

okwyee:
can i enter this contest too?

DanielTheGeek:
I'm sorry the challenge is fixed at three days, best I can do is to extend it to 8pm by Tuesday. I think it's feasible because if I were to take part I could attempt it within the time frame. The other brah has accepted the challenge and is prolly working already...

dhtml118:
The MAC no gree o, the thing taya me - na okrika mac im be. As e see the code like this, im shout - WAYO ALLAH - and refused to compile.

dhtml118:
May mac failed to compile it, i for on my kali linux, but no, i don tire, need to sleep - i had to use cutlass clear plenty grass today (lazy boy like me), na sleep i dey go sleep, will watch out for the winner.

DanielTheGeek:
Challenge ends 6am on Tuesday.

dhtml118:
You guys will need to pay the tithe of the 10k to me - as the master troll of this thread.

DanielTheGeek:
Maybe 4Kings may eat it before you even though you have a big mouth...

DanielTheGeek:
Which one be compiling of interpreter again?
Lol, abeg o, grant me parole on that case o.

No dies jarey, all these is just to catch fun...

dhtml118:
Santa maria! egba mi o! 10k!!

DanielTheGeek:
It's more of a personal stuff, but you're welcome.

Concerning duration, I don't know o, maybe 7days, too much? Okay, I'm setting 5 days as the deadline, y'all are mature programmers to an extent...

And very important, please don't post code here...once you have a working solution I'd, test it myself on your computer, thanks to

DanielTheGeek:
Is it that you find it difficult to assimilate or what? I'm getting pissed o.

I'm talking bout the Glass challenge. How can I get your account number? So, once you do it I'd send the bounty in.

DanielTheGeek:
You are just hiding and beating around the bush, I figured it's your best hobby...



If we go into a bit of psychology, at the point of writing the above, you didn't know what you were opting in for, you thought it was one of those languages you could Google as usual..

And after you did your homework you decided to play hide and seek.



Now I'm taking this serious and I'm adding a 10k bounty. It's a cheap task right? So 10k will at least be enough to cover your data fees for next month.

DanielTheGeek:
O boy, I already dropped the first punch.. It seems to me you're dodging for some reasons... I threw a small punch and you couldn't defend now you're forming Paquiao here after bragging you'd come up with a solution early in the morning after few hours of learning the language.. I'm really not in the mood for long talks let's just continue... Just please help me solve the problem 4kings dropped so I can learn from you. I haven't done anything like that before and I ain't shy to say it...

DanielTheGeek:
On the contrary, this is actually a mad punchline
