Cyclomatic Complexity in piece of code with multiple exit points

Question

I have this method that validates a password:

/**
 * Checks if the given password is valid.
 * 
 * @param password The password to validate.
 * @return {@code tr         


        

Answer 1

I think the trick is that the logical operators are counted.

Based off of your Metrics link (http://metrics.sourceforge.net/) under the McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity section:

1 Initial flow

3 decision points (if,for,if)

3 conditional logic operators (||,||,||)

total: 7
