Count the number of lines in directory tree with specific files extensions

Why?

I was trying to count how many lines I've written while solving competitive programming problems.

How to use it?

• Compile main.cpp file with gcc or any other compiler.
• Run the executable file with FILE_NAME PATH EXT [EXT [EXT [...]]].
• PATH should be a directory path.
• EXT should be any file extension (without the dot .).

Example run:

$ g++ main.cpp -o main

$ ./main /home/aliosm/Repositories/CompetitiveProgramming cpp java
cpp extension:
Number of files: 1101
Number of lines: 47863

java extension:
Number of files: 1
Number of lines: 21

Total number of files is 1102
Total number of lines is 47884

How it works?

When you run the compiled file and give it the PATH argument with some EXT's, the code will open the directory in PATH and using BFS algorithm, it will try to reach all files that end with any EXT in the current directory and all other directories inside it.
