SWITCH

[Honey Khumalo]

What happens if the switch statement tests false?

[Anubhav Anand]

A switch statement works for a key

switch (key)
{
  case value:
       break;
  default:
       break;
}

For key values you can use int or enum constants(JDK 5.0).

Now, if a key is supplied the switch body is executed. If a case is met then the appropriate action is performed. If no case is tested true then control goes to default statement and it is executed. In case there is no default then switch block is ended without any action.

Hope that helps.

PS. Please don't write subject line in caps as it is considered rude and is like shouting in the forum.
