Code Inspection: Redundant empty switch section

In C#, you do not have to include the default section in switch statements. If no case sections were executed, and there is no default section specified, control is transferred outside a switch statement.

JetBrains Rider considers the empty default branch redundant and suggests removing it to improve the code readability.

            
switch (x)
{
    case 1:
      Console.WriteLine(x);
      break;
    /*...*/
    default:
      break;
}

        

            
switch (x)
{
    case 1:
      Console.WriteLine(x);
      break;
    /*...*/
}
