hi everyone, i'm trying to understand fallback functions, what is used for? I mean a real use case, can someone talk about a specific case?

Two cases: or when a contract receive ether or when a function is called that does not exist

I think it's actually one case only, that is when a called function is not defined in the contract, it goes to fallback.
