Hi, let's say I have code in C with approximately this structure:
switch (something)
{
case 0:
return "blah";
break;
case 1:
case 4:
return "foo";
break;
case 2:
case 3:
return "bar";
break;
default:
return "foobar";
break;
}
Now obviously, the "break"s are not necessary for the code to run correctly, but it sort of looks like bad practice if I don't put them there to me.
What do you think? Is it fine to remove them? Or would you keep them for increased "correctness"?
