Maybe I misunderstood that sentence caused by my bad English. I knew 
that in case the switch value is not present in any case inside the 
switch, the program continues without doing anything (in the switch) and 
without any problem.

int x = 3;
switch(x) {
   case 1: printf("Hello");break;
   case 2: printf("World");break;
}

Will the program execution continue without any defined behaviour?
