Enumerated data type

Enumerated data type:

We can use the enumerated type in java using the enum keyword. This keyword can be used similar to the static final constants. public enum day{Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}; The advantages of using the enumerated types are:  compile–time type safety.  we can use the enum keyword in switch statements. public class workingdays { enum days { Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, } public static void main(String args[ ] ) { for(days d: days.values()) { weekend(d); } } private static void weekend(days d) if (d.equals (days.Sunday)) System.out.println(“value=”+d+”is a holiday”); else System.out.println(“value=”+d+”R1 is boundary day”) } }
