    Default Referring to cases

    If I have a switch-case block like:

    switch(i){
     
    case1:
    blah1;
    break;
     
    case2:
    blah2;
    break
     
    case3:
    blah3;
    break;
    }

    is there anyway to refer to the current case the program is in? For example, if I wanted to initialize an int inside "case2:" to 2, or initialize an int inside "case3" to 3.

    Can you explain what you want to use the code for and why you think you have the need you describe to have variables initialized for specific case values?
