Thanks

I am very much confused in calculating statement coverage and branch coverage. For calculating statement coverage, Iam just checking out various combinations of paths that could be poosible in that particular scenario. For calculating branch coverage, I am using the rule n+1, where ‘n’ is the number of IF conditions. But this answers obtained by following this approach sometimes do not match with the actual answers specified in the net. So could anyone tel me the alternative correct way for calculating coverages. Also, Please provide me the correct answers of the below quetions.

IF X = Z
THEN Statement 2;
