Why did the switch print three things?

Short answer. There was no break, so it fell through into the next cases.

When does default run?

When no case matches, or when fall through reaches it.

Remember

break stops the switch
default: no case matched

This switch should print one word. It prints three. Why? There is no break. So case two falls through into case three and default. D becomes Tue Wed question mark. Remember. Break stops the switch. Default runs when nothing matches.
