Library to calculate Python functions cognitive complexity via code
This library provides a mechanism to evaluate the cognitive complexity of
Python functions. Cognitive complexity is a metric designed to measure the
understandability of code, assessing how challenging it might be for a human
to comprehend. It assigns points for various constructs such as breaking
control flow, nesting, and recursion within the code. The calculation of
cognitive complexity can aid in making the code more maintainable and readable
by helping developers identify areas that could be simplified. The metric is
derived from a structured algorithm that, although not precisely replicating
the original proposal, delivers similar results. This algorithm adapts
traditional computation techniques to assess elements that contribute to
mental processing difficulty when reading and interpreting source code.
