Nested ``switch`` structures are difficult to understand because you can easily confuse the ``when`` blocks of an inner ``switch`` as belonging to an outer statement. Therefore nested ``switch`` statements should be avoided.

Specifically, you should structure your code to avoid the need for nested ``switch`` statements, but if you cannot, then consider moving the inner ``switch`` to another function.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
public void foo(Integer i, Integer j) {
  switch on i {
    when 1 {System.debug(' 1'); }
    when 2 { System.debug(' 2'); }
    when -3 {
      switch on j {  // Noncompliant
        when 1 {System.debug(' 3');}
        when else {System.debug(' 4');}
      }
    }
  }
}

== Compliant Solution

----
public void foo(Integer i, Integer j) {
  switch on i {
    when 1 {System.debug(' 1'); }
    when 2 { System.debug(' 2'); }
    when -3 {bar(j);}
  }
}

public void bar(Integer j) {
  switch on j {
    when 1 {System.debug(' 3');}
    when else {System.debug(' 4');}
  }
}
