If a case statement is missing in the 'switch(color)' and there's no default, would the compiler complain?

  1. Yes

  2. No

The correct answer is: No

Without a default case, the compiler would not complain because it would simply skip over the switch statement if none of the cases are met and continue with the rest of the code. However, this can lead to unexpected outcomes and it is considered a good coding practice to include a default case. Therefore, the answer is B, as the compiler would not complain in this scenario.
