- The default clause is optional, if person has not entered any valid input then the default statement will be executed.

Example
In the following example,
We are trying to Create a Simple Calculator.
Here :
When you Press + then Output will be num1 + num2 i.e. 50+20
When you Press - then Output will be num1 - num2 i.e. 50-20
When you Press * then Output will be num1 * num2 i.e. 50*20
When you Press / then Output will be num1 / num2 i.e. 50/20
