Statements is one of the source-code metrics Understand computes across 17+ languages — browse them in the GUI, export and track them, or script them with the Python API.

Number of statements.
A single physical line can contain more than one statement, and each clause of a for loop's header (initialization, condition, and increment) counts as its own statement, in addition to its body.
For example:
int main() {
for (int i = 0;
i < 10;
i++)
;
int j = func();
int k = 0;
int l = 1;
int m
= func();
int n;
n = 1;
#ifdef A_VERY_NICE_VARIABLE
int j = 0;
cout << j << endl;
#endif
return 0;
}
main() contains 11 statements: the for loop's three header clauses (int i = 0, i < 10, i++) plus its empty body (;), the six variable declarations and assignments (int j = func();, int k = 0;, int l = 1;, int m = func();, int n;, n = 1;), and the final return 0;, for CountStmt = 11. The two statements inside the inactive #ifdef block don't count.
See Declarative Statements, Executable Statements, and Empty Statements for a breakdown by statement type, and Semicolons for the related count of ; tokens.
