switch in java multiple return code example

Example 1: Java switch case with multiple values

// Java switch case with multiple values
public class SwitchCaseMultipleValues
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      int number = 1;
      switch(number)
      {
         case 1: case 2:
             System.out.println("number 1");
             System.out.println("number 2");
             break;
         case 3:
             System.out.println("number 3");
             break;
         default:
             System.out.println("number is not 1, 2 or 3");
      }
   }
}

Example 2: Java switch with multiple cases

// Java switch with multiple cases
public class SwitchMultipleCase
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      System.out.println(multipleCase("one"));
      System.out.println(multipleCase("two"));
   }
   static String multipleCase(final String number)
   {
      String str = null;
      switch(number)
      {
         case("one"):
         case("three"):
         case("five"):
             str = "odd numbers";
         break;

         case("two"):
         case("four"):
         case("six"):
             str = "even numbers";
         break;
         default:
             str = "please enter valid input";
      }
      return str;
   }
}
