Note that the switch block is the same like the others and case and
default and very similar to goto labels. You can even do:
switch (x) {
int abc;
{ case 5: abc = 7; break; }
do { case 3: abc = 5; break; } while (0);
while (1) {
        printf("%d\n", abc);
default:
        abc = 1;
}
}
And check what it will do for x == 3, 5, and others :).
