== Pseudo-metrics ==

ConceptC programmingP uses ''pseudo-metrics'' to evaluate the quality of code. They are called pseudo-metrics because they relate the concept space and the code space, with a clear understanding that the concept space cannot be formalized strictly enough for a real metric to be defined. Concept programming pseudo-metrics include:

* ''[[Syntactic noise]]'' measures discrepancies between the concept and the syntax used to represent it. For instance, the semi-colon at the end of statements in [[C (programming language)|C]] can be considered as syntactic noise, because it has no equivalent in the concept space.
