Your first example is more than 99% away from 100% coverage :-)

That's wrong. The code is 100% covered with tests, yet it hasn't being tested for all possible cases.

Simple question: If not all cases have been tested, how can that be a coverage of 100%? ;) Please see the comment of frantzen as answer to my first comment. The many different meanings of "coverage" are explained.

Sounds to me like we're saying the same thing but in different ways :)
