The methods provided by java.lang.Enum

Here is some code illustrating the use of some of these methods:

0452:       Scanner tScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
0453:       String tInputString = tScanner.next();
0454:       Day tInputDay = Day.valueOf(tInputString);
0455:       switch (tInputDay)
0456:       {
0457:          case Sunday:   System.out.println("wash car");   break;
0458:          case Saturday: System.out.println("do nothing"); break;
0459:          default:       System.out.println("go to work"); break;
0460:       }
0461:       for (Day tDay : Day.values())
0462:       {
0463:          System.out.println(tDay + " " + tDay.ordinal());
0464:       }

This code produces the following dialogue:

0500: Sunday
0501: wash car
0502: Sunday 0
0503: Monday 1
0504: Tuesday 2
0505: Wednesday 3
0506: Thursday 4
0507: Friday 5
0508: Saturday 6
