Switch Statements Aren't a Necessity in Java Programming

switch statements never work the way that i expect imto ever in any language like i always wind up having to debug em over and over and over again. The fact that the case clauses aren't a scope is an issue. It just has an disannoying syntaxd and also, it seems to kind of create this kind of coupling between all the various values that can be assigned to a variable anywhere in the code. And it's just not nice that that's what i think.
