Can we call a “case” inside another case in the same switch statement in Java?

Question

My intention is to call two cases inside another case in the same switch statement,

switch (orderType) {
        case 1: 
            statement 1;
                   


        

Answer 1

No, you can't jump to the code snippet in another switch case. You can however extract the code into an own method that can be called from another case:

switch (orderType) {
    case 1: 
        someMethod1();
        break;
    case 2:
        someMethod2();
        break;
    case 3:
        someMethod1();
        someMethod2();
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

void someMethod1() { ... }
void someMethod2() { ... }
