case Java Keyword

The case is used to label each branch in a switch statement.

Examples

  int arg = <some value>;
  switch (arg)
  {
     case 1:
        <statements>
        break;
     case 2:
        <statements>
        break;
     default:
        <statements>
        break;
  }
  

Remarks

• A case block does not have an implicit ending point. A break statement is typically used at the end of each case block to exit the switch statement.

• Without a break statement, the flow of execution will flow into all following case and/or default blocks.
