What is the meaning of error "unreachable statement "?

Answer 1

Sarvesh Chaudhary

Some suggestions:

Look at the code preceding the unreachable statement:
- maybe it is within a if or while loop where the condition is always false?
- maybe it is within a if or while loop but after a break or continue?
- maybe it is after an infinite loop?

Look at the variables: if their value never changes but they are used for if, while or switch blocks, you may have unreachable statements.

Also look at the return, break and exit statements:
The code after those statement is unreachable

Answer 2

Unreachable statement means there is a line of code that will never be executed.
For example, some code after a "return" in a function.
