In some cases it is optional and in some cases it is compulsory. If we use break statement where the condition is true then the next conditions will not execute.

I think if we do not use a break statement the code will be executed and compiler not gives error but the output will never be understandable by the user.

I think it is compulsory because if we use break statement we will get proper output otherwise all the statements get executed.

Its optional in the sense that it is allowed in the language to skip break statement and compiler will not raise an error.

If you not write it, it will ok, but all statements from other cases also get executed.
