Abstract
In this paper, we represent a class structure using directed graph in which each node corresponds to each member of the class. To quantify the depende nce relationship among members. we define weighted closure. Using this quan tified relationship and effort equation proposed by M.H.Halstead, we propos e a metric for class structural complexity.
