Question

With the switch/case statement you must manually exit using

A) Exit command
B) Continue command
C) Break command
D) Stop command

Answer 1

To manually exit a case in a switch/case statement, the correct command to use is the C) Break command. This ensures that after executing a matched case, the control is transferred out of the switch statement to prevent 'fall through'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a switch/case statement, when you want to exit a case and prevent the execution from falling through to the subsequent cases, you use the C) Break command.

Once the condition matches a case, the commands within that case will execute until a break statement is encountered, which then transfers control out of the switch statement. If a break is not present, the program will continue executing the next cases regardless of whether they match the condition or not, commonly referred to as 'fall through'.
