 Cyclomatic complexity assesses the complexity of a method by counting the number of decision points in a method,
 plus one for the method entry. Decision points are places where the control flow jumps to another place in the
 program. As such, they include all control flow statements, such as `if`, `while`, `for`, and `case`. For more

 Generally, numbers ranging from 1-4 denote low complexity, 5-7 denote moderate complexity, 8-10 denote
 high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity. By default, this rule reports methods with a complexity >= 10.
