Answer
Switch expressions use arrow syntax and eliminate break statements.
Switch expressions in Java use the '->' arrow syntax to directly associate a case with its outcome, removing the need for break statements, which prevents accidental fall-through and makes the code more concise and readable. For example, a simple discount logic can be written as: 'switch (category) { case 'electronics' -> '10% discount'; default -> 'No discount'; }'.
