VariableHardUsage is an index used to evaluate the frequency of use and scope of a local variable within a function. This indicator is calculated based on the variance of the line number at which the variable is used and the frequency with which the variable is assigned.

### Calculation Procedure
92
+
93
+
1. Obtain the line numbers of the variables:.
94
+
95
+
* Obtains the line numbers of all variables used in the function.
96
+
97
+
2. Calculate the average of the line numbers.
98
+
99
+
* Calculates the average of the retrieved line numbers. This is obtained by dividing the sum of the line numbers by the number of variables.

101
+
3. Calculate VariableHardUsage.
102
+
103
+
* For each variable, the absolute difference between the line number and the average line number is calculated.
104
+
* If a variable is assigned, the difference is multiplied by a factor (2 by default).
105
+
* Sum all these values to obtain VariableHardUsage.

### EXAMPLE.
108
+
109
+
For example, suppose there are three variables in a function, each with row numbers 10, 20, and 30, and that some assignments are made and some are not made. In this case, the average row number is 20.
110
+
111
+
* Variable A: Row 10, with assignment
112
+
* Variable B: Row 20, no assignment
113
+
* Variable C: Row 30, with assignment
114
+
115
+
In this case, VariableHardUsage is calculated as follows
VariableHardUsage is thus calculated as a measure of the frequency of use and scope of a variable. This metric can be used to quantitatively evaluate the usage of local variables within a functionandhelp improve code readability and maintainability.
