What is Enumeration or Enum in Java?


A Java enumeration is a class type. Although we don’t need to instantiate an enum
using new, it
has the same capabilities as other classes. This fact makes Java
enumeration a very powerful tool. Just like classes, you can give them
constructors, add instance variables and methods, and even implement
interfaces.

enum Color {
RED,
GREEN,
BLUE;
}

public class Test {


// Driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Color c1 = Color.RED;
System.out.println(c1);
}
}

// enum declaration inside a class.

public class Test {


enum Color {
RED,
GREEN,

BLUE;
}

// Driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Color c1 = Color.RED;
System.out.println(c1);
}
}

import java.util.Scanner;

// An Enum class
enum Day {
SUNDAY,
MONDAY,
TUESDAY,
WEDNESDAY,
THURSDAY,
FRIDAY,
SATURDAY;
}

// Driver class that contains an object of "day" and


// main().
public class Test {
Day day;

// Constructor
public Test(Day day) { this.day = day; }

// Prints a line about Day using switch

public void dayIsLike()
{
switch (day) {
case MONDAY:
System.out.println("Mondays are bad.");
break;
case FRIDAY:
System.out.println("Fridays are better.");
break;
case SATURDAY:
case SUNDAY:
System.out.println("Weekends are best.");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Midweek days are so-so.");
break;
}
}

// Driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String str = "MONDAY";
Test t1 = new Test(Day.valueOf(str));
t1.dayIsLike();
}
}
