Answer
Switch expressions enforce handling of all types and return consistent types.
Switch expressions in Java 17 improve type safety by ensuring that all branches return values of the same type, and they enforce exhaustive handling when dealing with enums. This reduces runtime errors and makes the codebase more robust, especially in complex logic scenarios, such as processing different user roles or permissions in an application.
