Answer
Switch expressions use arrow syntax for clarity.
Switch expressions replace the traditional case and break syntax with an arrow, eliminating fall-through and making the code more readable. For example, you can directly assign a value using switch: `String result = switch (day) { case MONDAY -> "Start of week"; case FRIDAY -> "End of week"; default -> "Midweek"; };` This improves clarity by reducing boilerplate code.
