Thread: Switch and break

Hello! I just want to know if I understand the program correctly. The program looks like this;

public class test{
	static char bst = 'a';
	static byte nr = 0;
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {{
		char bst = 'c';
	}
 
	switch(bst) {
		case 'a': nr = 1;
		case 'b': nr = 2;
		case 'c': nr = 3;
		case 'd': nr = 4;
 
	}
	Out.println("To "+bst + "belongs" +nr);
 
	}
}

The output is "To a belongs 2", now the way I am interpreting this program is like this. We have this Class variable c that is initialzed as a and when we enter the switch after checking that it is a number 1 is assigned, but since there is no break we continue going down thus assigning number 2 where we exit the switch (via break). Am I understanding this correctly or ?

Oh wait I copied wrong, my bad and I know that {{ is bad but again it is a question from the test, and the output is: "To a belongs 2. Here is how the Code ACTUALLY looks like, sorry for the mistake earlier.

[code=Java]
public class test{
static char bst = 'a';
static byte nr = 0;

public static void main(String[] args) {{
char bst = 'c';
}

switch(bst) {
case 'a': nr = 1;
case 'b': nr = 2; break;
case 'c': nr = 3;
case 'd': nr = 4;

}
Out.println("To "+bst + "belongs" +nr);

}
}

public class test{
static char bst = 'a';
static byte nr = 0;
 
public static void main(String[] args) {{
char bst = 'c';
}
 
switch(bst) {
case 'a': nr = 1;
case 'b': nr = 2; break;
case 'c': nr = 3;
case 'd': nr = 4;
 
}
Out.println("To "+bst + "belongs" +nr);
 
}
}

Sorry for the mistake, here is the code, well it would use something like {{ to make it difficult, that is the European way.My question is,actually not a question but more of a comfirmation. When we enter the switch and case is a so we assing 1 to it, but since we dont break we just continue going assigning 2 and than break exists the switch. Because the output is "To a belongs 2" so I'd presume the missing break at the first line in the switch causes this.

I think I do but I would mind a great explantion from you.

Will do thanks
