MQL5 switch command question, is this normal?

[Florin Ionescu]

I have the following code:

 

switch (_ap) {
      case PRICE_CLOSE: s = "Close Price";
                        //break;
      case PRICE_OPEN: s = "Open Price";
                       //break; 
      case PRICE_HIGH: s = "High Price";
                       //break; 
      case PRICE_LOW: s = "Low Price";
      case PRICE_MEDIAN: s = "Median Price";
      case PRICE_TYPICAL: s = "Typical Price";
      case PRICE_WEIGHTED: s = "Weighted Price";
                           break;
      default: s = "";
   }
//now s=="Weighted Price"
//is this normal?

 

 Initially, I didn't put any break, i thought it was ok.

But now I'm confused, even after I read docs about switch command.

Here is excerpt from help on switch operator:

"The case keyword with a constant are just labels, and if operators are executed for some case variant, the program will further execute the operators of all subsequent variants until the break operator occurs. It allows to bind a sequence of operators with several variants."

 

Switch jumps to the first case that matches value and executes all subsequent orders until break or end of switch block.

Thank you for clarification.

 

I read that in docs, but now it sounded clearer from you.
