It is possible to go to default
case from within some other case like this?
JavaScript
x
$a = 0;
$b = 4;
switch ($a) {
case 0:
if ($b == 5) {
echo "case 0";
break;
}
else
//go to default
case 1:
echo "case 1";
break;
default:
echo "default";
}
I tried to remove the else
and was expecting that it would continue evaluating all following cases until default
but it gets into case 1
then. Why is it so and how can I get to the default one?

Yes you can if you reorder the case
statements:
JavaScript
switch ($a) {
case 1:
echo "case 1";
break;
case 0:
if ($b == 5) {
echo "case 0";
break;
}
default:
echo "default";
}
Why is it so:
it is defined, if you de not have a break
statement the next case
will be executed. If there is no more case
, the default
will be executed if one is defined
