Quiz: The current technology products are built from how many lines of code?

To produce a technology product, developers have to write tens of thousands or even billions of lines of code. This number fluctuates strongly between software and applications.

For example, it will take about 50,000 lines of code to design a typical iPhone application, while the total number of lines of code that operates all Google services can be up to 2 billion lines.

If we print 1 million lines of code, we will get about 18,000 pages of text - 14 times the length of the novel War and peace.

Infographic compiled by Visual Capitalist, the comparison will tell us the number of lines of code used to build popular software and services today.

3. 6.7 million lines of code create Google Chrome browser.
4. Over 10 million lines of code are used to operate a Chevy Volt hybrid car.
5. 12-15 million lines of code are used to build the Android operating system.
6. It takes 62 million lines of code to create Facebook's backend source code.
7. 2 billion lines of code are used to create all Google services. If printed, it would be equivalent to about 36,000,000 pages of text, a length of 3.6 km.
