Exactly, case 3 matches, so it prints 'three'.

Wait, I’m confused about the order of cases. Does the switch stop after the first match, or does it check all cases?

I practiced a similar question where the switch statement had a default case too, and it seems like 'three' should be the output here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the default case being executed if no matches are found.

I think the switch statement will match the value of $a, which is 3, so it should output 'three'.

Wait, does the default case get executed if there's a match? I feel like I might be mixing that up with something else.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the order of cases matters. Since $a is 3, it should definitely go to case 3.

I think the switch statement checks the value of $a, so it should match case 3 and output 'three', right?
