You will get the following output:
7.5 FALL-THROUGH SITUATION
In Java, the break statement is used to terminate the execution of a loop or a switch-case structure. In a switch
statement, the break statement is used to exit the switch block once a matching case is found and its associated code
is executed. Without the break, the control will "fall through" to subsequent cases, executing their code as well, even
if they don't match the value of the switch expression. Let us take an example:
int day = 2;
switch (day) {
case 1:
System.out.println("Sunday");
break;
case 2:
System.out.println("Monday");
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("Tuesday");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid day");
break;
}
If the case value does not match with the choice, then the default statement is executed. Thus, a default is executed
only if no case is matching the value of the day variable.
