Thread: can we use default keyword without switch

But you could achieve the same result using a #define if you don't like adding the colon. Just #define otherwise /*empty*/ and use it:

Code:

    otherwise {
        ...
    }

But note that adding the label, by itself, doesn't actually do anything special. The code block would still be executed unconditionally. You'd need to change the previous if statements to a chain of "if"/"else if" and then change the "default" block to "else".
