``switch`` can contain a ``default`` 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 ``switch`` statement, it is recommended to put the ``default`` clause at the end of the ``switch`` statement. This rule raises an issue if the ``default`` clause is not the last one of the ``switch``'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;
}
