Answer
Switch expressions enforce exhaustive handling of enum cases.
Switch expressions require you to handle all possible enum values. If you miss a case, the compiler will raise an error unless a default case is provided. For example, using an enum for order statuses ensures every status is covered: `switch (status) { case PENDING ->...; case SHIPPED ->...; }` This helps prevent runtime errors.
