technically i would need to add elses - but the question is if to do that

 Why not ...
 switch (n)
{
     case 1:
         /* something */
         break;

     /* etc ... */
      default:

not adding else makes liek code shorter.. so im not literally sure which is better

 The size of teh [sic] source code won't make any difference to the size of the executable - so aim for readability first and foremost.
