Java 12 will make changes to the switch statement. It can now be assigned to variables so the snippet below compiles. What is the output though?

@EclipseJavaIDE The output should be false

@EclipseJavaIDE Looking forward to this one. So much more elegant than the current approach.

@EclipseJavaIDE It took 12 versions to get here. Sighs!!!

@EclipseJavaIDE @java like pattern matching in scala!

@EclipseJavaIDE @java like match pattern in #Scala

@EclipseJavaIDE @java No longer a statement. Why not just refer to it as a “switch expression”?

@EclipseJavaIDE @java Apparently 1 and 5 are even. Who knew?

@EclipseJavaIDE false even?

@EclipseJavaIDE False

@EclipseJavaIDE @java Statement doesn't say anything about break however it is assigning value to variable, I will consider break is not required, so it is false

@EclipseJavaIDE @java false

@EclipseJavaIDE @java false

@EclipseJavaIDE false, because an implicit break statement is assumed over here.

@EclipseJavaIDE false

@EclipseJavaIDE False Is the Output

@EclipseJavaIDE the answer is false

@EclipseJavaIDE @java Neat!

@EclipseJavaIDE @java It reminds me Scala :) and answer is false.

@EclipseJavaIDE False 😌

@EclipseJavaIDE @java switch

@EclipseJavaIDE @java Ooook

@EclipseJavaIDE False

@EclipseJavaIDE @java False 🤓

@EclipseJavaIDE @java İts seems like lambda :)

@EclipseJavaIDE False 😏

@EclipseJavaIDE @java False.. wow it so cool😎

@EclipseJavaIDE 🤔🤔

@EclipseJavaIDE @java False

@EclipseJavaIDE false

@EclipseJavaIDE Old Java tells me true, Java 12 seems that no break could not be necessary so false is the answer.

@EclipseJavaIDE @java Output is false for these one.

@EclipseJavaIDE @java The output is false. And do not forget it is a preview feature.
