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

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