Unreachable statement

[prarthana reddy]

public class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i = 1;

switch(i++)
{
case 0:

System.out.print(i + " "); //1
break; //2
System.out.print(i + " "); //3

case 1: //4

System.out.print(i + " ");
default: //5
}
}
}

I dont understand why print statement in case 1 is unreachable ..

Every statement under switch should come under 'case' or 'default'.I think,due to the break statement, irrespective of condition in switch statement,it is not possible to reach the '..print' statement.

It is not the print statement of case 1 that is unreachable, but print statement marked with "//3". The reason for this is given above.
