Please suggest me any solution

Hi Soundhariyaa,

>> https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/langCon_apex_expressions_comments.htm

As mentioned in the above link the comments are not interpreted by the parser so we won't be able to fetch the number of lines of comments.

Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.  

Thanks.

Hi Soundhariya,
You can take reference from this below code. 
Integer classLines = 0;
List<String> lines= new List<String>();
for(ApexClass : [Select Body From ApexClass]){
                    lines = a.Body.split('\n');
                   
}
for(string str: lines){
    //system.debug(str);
    if(str.contains('/*')||str.contains('*/')||str.contains('//')){
        classLines++;
    }
}
system.debug('Apex Class lines: ' + classLines);

In case you find any other issue please mention.
