How is an ammeter connected in a circuit to measure current flowing through it?

An ammeter is connected in series in a circuit to measure current flowing through it.

An ammeter is connected in parallel in a circuit to measure current flowing through it.

An ammeter can be connected either in series or in parallel in a circuit to measure current through it.

An ammeter can be connected anywhere in the circuit.
