How Many Lines of C it Takes to Execute a + b…

Thanks for digging into this for us! This isn’t something I would do myself.

Ok, I've calculated how many lines of C code python need for a+b.

Just to run empty file CPython uses 33241 lines of c code

For file which contains 4+5 34261 lines of code

And file a=4 \n b=5 \n a+b is 34724 lines of code

I wrote an article about how exactly I got these values.
