Line 1: '''Cyclometric complexity''' is a concept in [[Complexity theory]]. Its magnitude is denoted by the letter ("M"). "M" is defined to be one larger than the number of decision points (IFs, UNTILs, ENDs...) in a module ([[function]], [[procedure..]], chart node, etc.), or more generally a [[system]]. [[McCabe's rule]] of thumb is that "modules" with M of ten or more are error-prone. CASE structures are an exception. ~~They~~Due to their structure, they can have more than ten decisions without increasing the likelihood of errors. {{msg:stub}}
