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.
