In a switch statement, if there is no break statement after a case, what will happen?
- The program will continue to execute the code in subsequent cases until a break statement is encountered
- The program will generate a compilation error
- The program will skip the current case and move to the default case
- The program will throw a runtime exception
In C# and many other programming languages, when there is no break statement after a case, program execution will "fall through" to subsequent cases. This means that all code under subsequent case labels will be executed until a break statement is encountered or the switch statement ends. This behavior can be intentional when multiple cases should share the same code block.
