This reminds me of what Walter said before! It is actually so 
simple that I don't understand what's so hard about it!

```
int val = 200; // This is a line of code


// This is a comment
/* This is a comment
   This counts as a comment too!
/*

int function_test() {
   int v = 10;
}
```

The following has:

Lines of code: 4
Empty lines: 3
Comments: 2

Don't we all agree that this is how we should count it?
