Description

I want to develop a file-based function that tracks the amount of information entropy in a repository using the Shannon entropy formula. This function will reference LoC_tracker, an existing function that tracks the total number of lines changed in the code. It will be tested on high and low entropy datasets to ensure accurate calculation.

Example

def entropy_calculation(LoC returned value):
return shannon_entropy
......
def test_entropy_calculation(LoC returned value):
.......

Would you like to work on a solution for this?
