4.11 Switch Case
Do not put spaces in the parenthesis of the switch declaration.
The curly bracket goes on the same line with a space after the closing parenthesis.
EXAMPLE: BAD:
switch ( variable ) {
switch(variable){//no space
GOOD:
switch(variable) {
case is not indented.
Always put break unless you intend fallthrough. If you are falling through, put each case on seperate lines.
Always put a default case. default should always be the very last case, unless you are intentionally falling through with it.
Try to use enum's whenever possible.
EXAMPLE: BAD:
case A:
case B: case C:
//code
break;
default:
case D:
//code
break;
GOOD:
case A:
case B:
case C:
//code
break;
case D:
default:
break;
When using C++17 always include the [[fallthrough]] attribute when falling to the next block
