Enumeration Is A List of Named Constants That

Enumerations allow you to define a set of constant values that represent the only valid options for a variable. You create an enum by defining a new class that implicitly extends Enum, where you can list the named constants. An enum object can then only hold one of the predefined enum values, precisely defining a new data type with a fixed set of possible values.

Ennumeration - sometimes you'll want to create a set of constant

values to represent the onlyvalid values for a


variable. This set of valid values is commonly
referred to as an enumeration.
When you create an enum, you're creating a new
class, and you're implicitly extending java . lang. Enum.
You can declare an enum as its own standalone
class, in its own source file, or as a member of another class.

In its simplest form, an enumeration is a list of named constants that


define a new data type. An object of an enumeration type can hold only
the values that are defined by the list. Thus, an
enumeration gives you a way to precisely define a new type of data that
has a fixed number of valid values.
