break; represents the end of every case. So, a break; statement is used at the end of every 'case'. If you don't use break; at the end of a 'case', the next 'case' will also be executed.

Break after each case so you dont get all the cases printed to the screen.

In order to avoid fall through condition. Because if we don't use break the program will terminate each and every case in one go.
