<code>switch</code> can contain a <code>default</code> clause for various reasons: to handle unexpected values, to show that all the cases were properly considered.
For readability purpose, to help a developer to quickly find the default behavior of a <code>switch</code> statement, it is recommended to put the <code>default</code> clause at the end of the <code>switch</code> statement. This rule raises an issue if the <code>default</code> clause is not the last one of the <code>switch</code>'s cases.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
switch (param) {
case 0:
doSomething();
break;
default: // default clause should be the last one
error();
break;
case 1:
doSomethingElse();
break;
}
----
== Compliant Solution
----
switch (param) {
case 0:
doSomething();
break;
case 1:
doSomethingElse();
break;
default:
error();
break;
}
