Rules for switch statement<\/h2>\n

\n
• Switch expression should be an integer or character data type.<\/li>\n
• Case value must be an integer or constant value.<\/li>\n
• We can use only case value inside the switch statement.<\/li>\n
• Break statement is not mandatory in switch. It is optional.<\/li>\n
• If a program does not find a break statement in switch expression, all the cases in the switch will be executed along with the matched case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
