Switch having case with return statement

[yogesh doshi]

class switch_demo
{
	public static void main(String a[])
	{
	 switch(9)
	 {
		case 1:
		case 2:
		case 9: 
		case 10: 		
		System.out.println("10");
		return;
		//System.out.println("10-i");
		
		default:System.out.println("Hey");
	 }
	 System.out.println("after switch");// Why after switch is not printed???
	}
}

Well, if the code is executing a return from method -- meaning it is done with the method -- why would it continue to run the next lines of the method?

Thanks Henry ..I was in wrong perception that return will return from switch block....Thanks for clearing my doubt

Change return; (on line12) to break; and see the magic happening

Why am I getting 1 as output? Can you walk me through the flow of the code??

You should show us the code which outputs "1" before you ask for an explanation of it. As far as I can see the code in your original post can't possibly do that.
