E - The enum type subclasspublic abstract classEnum<E extends Enum<E>>extendsObjectimplementsComparable<E>,Serializable
Note that when using an enumeration type as the type of a set or as the type of the keys in a map, specialized and efficientset andmap implementations are available.

protected Enum(String name, int ordinal)
name - - The name of this enum constant, which is the identifier used to declare it.ordinal - - The ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in the enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).public final String name()
toString() method in preference to this one, as the toString method may return a more user-friendly name. This method is designed primarily for use in specialized situations where correctness depends on getting the exact name, which will not vary from release to release.public final int ordinal()

Object.getClass() method for enum constants with constant-specific class bodies.)public static <T extendsEnum<T>> T valueOf(Class<T> enumType,String name)
Note that for a particular enum typeT, the implicitly declaredpublic static T valueOf(String) method on that enum may be used instead of this method to map from a name to the corresponding enum constant. All the constants of an enum type can be obtained by calling the implicitpublic static T[] values() method of that type.
