True or False: If a match expression doesn't match any case pattern and there's no default case, control falls through a switch statement. (learn.microsoft.com)

What does "control falls through a switch statement" mean in this context? Control just moves on to the next statement?

I thought if there is no match and a default case doesn't exist it will raise an exception. Is it not true?

I see, thank you! I got confused with "control falls through a switch statement" and "C++ style fall through in switch statements".

C# will let you forget simple things and crash or compile error further down the line.
