switch can contain a default clause for various reasons: to handle unexpected values, to show that all the cases were
properly considered, etc.
For readability purposes, to help a developer quickly spot the default behavior of a switch statement, it is recommended to put the
default clause at the beginning or the end of the switch statement.
This rule raises an issue if the default clause is not the first or the last one of the switch's cases.
switch (param) {
case 0:
doSomething();
break;
default: // Noncompliant: default clause should be the first or last one
error();
break;
case 1:
doSomethingElse();
break;
}
