error with switch case and exptected expression

Question

Sorry to ask this (I rarely use switch statements) but I am getting an error with this but it seems valid to me (but obviously isn't):

  NSInteger section=indexPath.section;

  switch(section){
    case 0:
      Item *mi = self.miArray[indexPath.row]; // <- expected expression
      ...
      return cell;
      break;
    case 1:
      Item *mi = self.miArray[indexPath.row];
      break;
  }

What am I doing wrong?

You can either put the case in braces (case 0: { Item *mi ... }) or add a ; after the case statement (case 0:;).

Either of that should help but I actually forgot why this is necessary.

Found an explanation here: Weird Switch error in Obj-C

Declaration is not allowed within switch. Declare Item before entering to switch and do the initialization within the switch.
