Wait, are we really saying function points are the least useful?

Depth of inheritance? Seems pretty irrelevant to me.

Function points seem more about project size, so I guess they might not help with maintainability as much as the others.

I practiced a question like this before, and I feel like depth of inheritance could be the least useful metric.

I'm a bit unsure, but I remember cyclomatic complexity being important for maintainability. Maybe depth of inheritance is less useful?

I think function points might not really reflect maintainability since they focus more on functionality than code structure.

I'm leaning towards cyclometric complexity as the least useful. That's more about code complexity than maintainability per se. Gotta think this through though.

Depth of inheritance could be a tricky one. It's important for understanding the code structure, but maybe not the best direct measure of maintainability. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Function points seem like the obvious choice here. Measuring the size of the application doesn't really tell you much about how maintainable the code is.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I think cyclometric complexity might be the least useful, but I'd have to think it through a bit more.
