In JavaScript switch
statement, the default
clause is optional. Therefore, switch
statements do not need to always contain a default
clause. For example:
const expression = 'bar'; switch (expression) { case 'foo': console.log('foo'); break; case 'bar': console.log('bar'); break; } // output: 'bar'
If you do not
provide a default
clause, and no case
matches the provided expression, then nothing within the switch
statement is executed. For example:
const expression = 'non-existent'; switch (expression) { case 'foo': console.log('foo'); break; case 'bar': console.log('bar'); break; }
