Hi,
Cyclomatic complexcity is a methodology to measure the
complexity at a certain area of code.In other words it an
another way to reach at defect clustering.
Cyclomatic complexity is to measure the number of
independent paths in a program's source code.
The formula it follow: M = E- N + 2P
where
M = cyclomatic complexity
E = number of edges of the graph
N = number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components.
**The easier one is like:n(umber of Decision statements in
the program being tested plus one.)
It provides the degree of testing/review required in a
certain area of code.

Answer / vidya
Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric (measurement).
It was developed by Thomas McCabe and is used to measure
the complexity of a program. It directly measures the
number of linearly independent paths through a program's
source code. It is computed using a graph that describes
the control flow of the program. The nodes of the graph
correspond to the commands of a program. A directed edge
connects two nodes if the second command might be executed
immediately after the first command.
Definition
M = E − N + 2P
where
M = cyclomatic complexity
E = the number of edges of the graph
N = the number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components.
"M" is alternatively defined to be one larger than the
number of decision points (if/case-statements, while-
statements, etc) in a module (function, procedure, chart
node, etc.), or more generally a system.
Separate subroutines are treated as being independent,
disconnected components of the program's control flow graph.
