Two limit switches, one button

Any example would be highly appreciated!

There are 6 possible states for a button and 2 limit switches that can't be true at the same time. What do you want the motor to do for each of them?

• Button not pressed, Switch 1 false, Switch 2 false
• Button pressed, Switch 1 false, Switch 2 false
• Button not pressed, Switch 1 true, Switch 2 false
• Button pressed, Switch 1 true, Switch 2 false
• Button not pressed, Switch 1 false, Switch 2 true
• Button pressed, Switch 1 false, Switch 2 true
