Hello everybody!
I have a problem. I need to evaluate the size of software product. I know, that there are LOC-oriented metrics (Lines Of Code) and functional oriented (FP - Functional Points) metrics for this aim. There is a lot of theoreical materials for this topic, but it seems very difficult to use this theory in practice. It's interesting to know, did some one use this method? I will be grateful if you help me with your experience..

The problem with LOC (or SLOC), is that it can be very language dependent. You might as well indicate how many bytes the source code is.
Function points can also be a problem, just because you may have a variety of different ways of breaking down your code. Do you use 10 functions with 50 SLOC each, or one function with 500 SLOC?
Here's a better question, why are you trying to measure the size of your product? What are you really trying to discover?
