Percentage of comments in the source code

This number is calculated using the following formula:

Percentage = 100 * <letters in comments> / <letters in source code and comments together>

Further information

Multiple consecutive spaces in the source code are counted as one space, which prevents a high weighting of indented source code. A percentage of 0 is returned for empty objects (no source code and no comments).

The statements also include declaration statements, for example.
