Definition

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halstead_Complexity_Measures">Halstead Complexity</a> measures a program module's complexity directly from source code, with emphasis on computational complexity. The measures were developed by the late Maurice Halstead as a means of determining a quantitative measure of complexity directly from the operators and operands in the module. Among the earliest software metrics, they are strong indicators of code complexity.
