grammar |
| |
A flow control statement whose valid context is only within a
switch
statement.
Control passes to the statements following this statement whenever the
unary expression associated with it has a value equal to the
switch
statement argument.
The unary expression is evaluated once when the
switch
statement is first encountered.
When a
case
statement is selected,
the first
break
statement encountered in the same context
marks the end of statements to be executed.
Its usage description can be summarized as follows:
Statement:
case UnaryExpression :
If the unary expressions of two or more
case
statements within the same
switch
statement evaluate to the same value, a warning is issued and only the
first matching
case
statement is selected.
