char ch1 = 0,ch2 = 0;
try { ch1 = (char) System.in.read(); }
catch(Exception e) {}
switch(ch1) {
   case 'a': 
      ch2 = '1';
   case 'b':
      ch2 = '2';
   case 'c':
      ch2 = '3';
   default:
      ch2 = '4';
}

In reference to the above, if during execution the user presses "b," what is the ending value of "ch2"?

The value will be 4 , because there is no break in the case statement.

The value will be 4 since switch will cast the char to the int , b will be converted to '98' which is its Ascii value. Hence, ch2 will be assigned a value of 4.

the value is 4, only because of no break statement after ch2='2'
