default in switch is not mandatory. But its good practice to have default in code, in case if you decided default behavior of the logic when above cases doesn't match. As well it is useful, if the value being matched is decided at run time. For e.g. share price, petrol price, temperature etc.. In these cases, its better to have default case, as you can't predict the fixed value in advance while writing program. Hope you understood. You can come back if you still need more clarifications. read less
