Enumeration

[kishan]

Hi all
what is Enumeration in java?(is it a class or Keyword)
What is the use of Enumeration?

[Singing Boyo]

Are we talking about the interface (which has been replaced with Iterator) or enums?

enums are a form of a class, represented by java.lang.Enum. They can hold methods, variables, and also hold enum constants. (A fixed set of variables that also implement any abstract methods declared by the enum) enums should be used whenever you have a fixed set of constants where the values are known at compile time. See Enum Types in The Java Tutorials for more information.

Enumeration (the interface) and Iterator are tools for processing arrays/vectors.

Enumeration is not a class or key word;
it is a interface.By using this interface
we iterate the elements of a collection.
It is just like an Iterator interface.
