 FAQ

How accurate is the line counter for programming files?

The counter accurately counts all lines in programming files including comments, code, and blank lines. It treats line breaks consistently across different programming languages and accurately distinguishes between blank and non-blank lines, making it reliable for code analysis tasks.
Does Line Counter work with all programming languages?

Yes, the counter works with all programming languages since it analyzes plain text line breaks regardless of syntax. Whether you're working with Python, JavaScript, C++, Java, or any other language, the tool will accurately count total lines, blank lines, and non-blank lines.
How does Line Counter determine what counts as a blank line?

The Counter identifies blank lines as those containing only whitespace characters (spaces, tabs) or no characters at all. Any line with at least one non-whitespace character is counted as a non-blank line. This distinction helps developers understand code density and structure.
Is my text secure when using Line Counter?

Yes, the counter processes all text client-side directly in your browser. Your text content is never transmitted to any external servers, making it safe for analyzing sensitive or confidential information. The "Client Side" indicator in the interface confirms this security feature.
