How to create Enum String constants


Below is the enum declaration

public enum EnumConstant {

STRING_1("ONE"), STRING_2("TWO");
private final String stringValue;
private EnumConstant(final String s) {
stringValue = s;
}
public String toString() {
return stringValue;
}
}

Below  is the test class to know its functions

public class EnumStringTest {

public static void main(String... arg){
System.out.println("Enum value :"+EnumConstant.STRING_1);
System.out.println("Enum value :"+EnumConstant.STRING_1.toString());
System.out.println("Enum name : "+EnumConstant.STRING_1.name());
System.out.println("Position of Enum constant : "+EnumConstant.STRING_1.ordinal());
}
}

Result  :

Enum value :ONE
Enum value :ONE
Enum name : STRING_1
Position of Enum constant : 0

Other way to use is as follows

public enum EnumVariable {

STRING_1{
public String toString(){
return "ONE";
}
},
STRING_2{
public String toString(){
return "TWO";
}
}

}
