switch?

[achayya matta]

can anyone clarify me why the following code prints 3,4?




switch (2) {

case 1:

System.out.println(1);

case 2:

case 3:

System.out.println(3);

case 4:

System.out.println(4);

}


thanks in advance

switch (2) {
case 1:
System.out.println(1);
case 2: // inside here, no break
case 3: // fall throught here, no break
System.out.println(3);
case 4: // fall throught here, no break
System.out.println(4);
}

Because the code will go inside case 2 then fall through to case 3, case 4 because they dont have break statement.

Because there is no break; statements in your code sample.
