Note Submitter: Manucyan ---- Some tests: switch ('aaaaa') { default : echo "DEFAULT TOP 1"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT TOP 2"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE TOP 1"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE TOP 2"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT BOTTOM 1"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT BOTTOM 2"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE BOTTOM 1"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE BOTTOM 2"; break; } //return ------> CASE TOP 1 switch ('SOMETHING_THAT_DOESN_T_EXIST') { default : echo "DEFAULT TOP 1"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT TOP 2"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE TOP 1"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE TOP 2"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT BOTTOM 1"; break; default : echo "DEFAULT BOTTOM 2"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE BOTTOM 1"; break; case 'aaaaa': echo "CASE BOTTOM 2"; break; } //return ------> DEFAULT BOTTOM 2 Some observations: - no errors if several identical boxes or defaultes - the last defect takes over - the first of the boxes takes the hand - we can put the default at the top (indeed sometimes it's more intuitive)
