To my surprise this code works fine:
int i = 2;
switch(i) {
case 1:
String myString = "foo";
break;
case 2:
myString = "poo";
System.out.println(myString);
}
But the String reference should never be declared? Could it be that all variables under every case always are declared no matter what, or how is this resolved?
