The document discusses two source code metrics: Halstead's effort equation and McCabe's cyclomatic complexity measure. Halstead's metrics are based on counts of operators, operands, unique operators, and unique operands in source code. McCabe's measure defines the complexity of a program's control flow graph based on the number of edges, nodes, and connected components. The document also mentions that software maintenance involves a range of activities from code modification to tracking complexity metrics over time.
