Condition coverage —>Each condition in the program such as if, else statements has been executed.

Functional coverage —> This Coverage ensures that all the functions in the program are executed so that we can confirm that the coverage will be high.

Path coverage —-> The paths where we define in the code is covered and also the switch cases.
