Abstract

The present invention may include an embodiment identifies the plurality of source code. The embodiment may extract one or more characteristics from a plurality of lines of the plurality of source code. The embodiment may analyze the one or more extracted characteristics for an inclusion relation and a congruent relation. The embodiment may generate a plurality of node relations of a plurality of nodes based on the inclusion relation and the congruent relation, where each node within the plurality of nodes corresponds to each line of the plurality of source code. The embodiment may determine a sum of the one or more nodes from the plurality of nodes that have no inclusion relation based on the analyzed inclusion relation and the analyzed congruent relation and the embodiment may display the sum of the determined one or more nodes.
