Java Coding Problems

57. Statement blocks

A label's arrow can point to a single statement (as in the examples from the previous two problems) or to a curly-braced block. This is pretty similar to the lambda blocks. Check out the following solution:

private static Player createPlayer(PlayerTypes playerType) {  return switch (playerType) {    case TENNIS -> {      System.out.println("Creating a TennisPlayer ...");      break new TennisPlayer();    }    case FOOTBALL -> {      System.out.println("Creating a FootballPlayer ...");      break new FootballPlayer();    }    case SNOOKER -> {      System.out.println("Creating a SnookerPlayer ...");      break new SnookerPlayer();    }    default ->      throw new IllegalArgumentException(        "Invalid player type: " + playerType);  };}

Notice that we exit from a curly-braced block ...
