    In the 'C' switch statement, execution continues on into the next case clause if it is not explicitly specified that the execution should exit the switch statement, by using "break".

    For Example:

    switch( Grade )
    {
    case 'A' : printf( "Excellent" );
    break;

    case 'B' : printf( "Good" );
    break;

    case 'C' : printf( "OK" );
    break;

    case 'D' : printf( "Mmmmm...." );
    break;

    case 'F' : printf( "You must do better than this" );
    break;

    default : printf( "What is your grade anyway?" );
    break;
    }
