Looping Statements 551
Because no break command is right above the case 21: statement, the
Java program falls-through to the next CASE statement. In C#, you must
explicitly define the fall-through (if this is what you want), such as
Book VI
Chapter 2
switch (age) {
case 17:
case 18:
case 19;
case 20;
System.out.println(“You’re too young to drink.”);
goto case 21;
case 21:
System.out.println(“You’re old enough to drink.”);
}
Java and C#
This C# SWITCH statement explicitly tells the computer to fall-through to the
case 21: statement. If you omit the goto case 21 statement, the preceding
C# SWITCH statement won’t work. By forcing you to explicitly define the
fall-through in a SWITCH statement, C# helps prevent mistakes in writing a
SWITCH statement incorrectly.
Looping Statements
A looping statement repeats one or more commands for a fixed number of
times or until a certain Boolean condition becomes True. To create a loop
that repeats for a fixed number of times, use the FOR loop, which looks like
this:
for (startvalue; endvalue; increment) {
Command;
}
If you wanted the FOR loop to run five times, you could set the Start value to
1 and the End value to 5, such as
for (i = 1; i
