Add a default case to this switch. Open
switch(((TableCell)node).getAlignment()){
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
The requirement for a final default
clause is defensive programming. The clause should either take appropriate action, or contain a
suitable comment as to why no action is taken.
Noncompliant Code Example
switch (param) { //missing default clause case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; } switch (param) { default: // default clause should be the last one error(); break; case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; }
Compliant Solution
switch (param) { case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; default: error(); break; }
Exceptions
If the switch
parameter is an Enum
and if all the constants of this enum are used in the case
statements,
then no default
clause is expected.
Example:
public enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY } ... switch(day) { case SUNDAY: doSomething(); break; case MONDAY: doSomethingElse(); break; }

Provide the parametrized type for this generic. Open
return new RemoteDocumentPage(this.toBuilder());
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Generic types shouldn't be used raw (without type parameters) in variable declarations or return values. Doing so bypasses generic type checking, and defers the catch of unsafe code to runtime.
Noncompliant Code Example
List myList; // Noncompliant Set mySet; // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
List<String> myList; Set<? extends Number> mySet;
