case_
                  The last statement of the 'case' should be 'break', 'continue', 'rethrow', 'return', or 'throw'.
Description
#
                    The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the last statement in a case
                    block isn't one of the required terminators: break, continue,
                    rethrow, return, or throw.
                  
Example
#
                    The following code produces this diagnostic because the case block ends
                    with an assignment:
                  
void f(int x) {
  switch (x) {
    case 0:
      x += 2;
    default:
      x += 1;
  }
}
Common fixes
#Add one of the required terminators:
void f(int x) {
  switch (x) {
    case 0:
      x += 2;
      break;
    default:
      x += 1;
  }
}
