Question

What is the value of total returned by the call secret(3) ? int secret int num) { int total= 10; switch(num) { case 1: case 2: total=5. break case 3. total= 10: case 4: total=total+3: case 8: total=total+6. break default: total=total+ 4. break} return total; }​

Answer 1

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Without break; statements, the switch "falls through" to the next case. So the code is directed to case 3, which sets total to 10. Then another 3 gets added and another 6, because cases 4 and 8 are also executed. That brings the total to 19.

So, always use a compile rule or code checker that checks your code for missing breaks, because it is hardly ever what you want on purpose.
