include::../description.adoc[] == Noncompliant Code Example ---- when(param) { // missing else 1 -> doSomething() 2 -> doSomethingElse() } ---- == Compliant Solution ---- when(param) { 1 -> doSomething() 2 -> doSomethingElse() else -> error("myMessage") } ---- == Exceptions If the ``++when++`` clause is used as an expression, Kotlin compiler already enforces that all possible cases are covered with branch conditions. So no issue will be raised in this case. Example: ---- enum class Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY } ... val myVal = when(day) { MyEnum.SUNDAY -> 1 MyEnum.MONDAY -> 2 } ---- include::../see.adoc[]
