Using the built-in enumeration methods

[Java Tip]

enum Apple {  
  Jonathan, GoldenDel, RedDel, Winsap, Cortland 
} 
public class EnumDemo2 { 
  public static void main(String args[])  
  { 
    Apple ap; 
    System.out.println("Here are all Apple constants"); 
    // use values() 
    Apple allapples[] = Apple.values(); 
    for(Apple a : allapples) 
      System.out.println(a); 
    System.out.println(); 
    // use valueOf() 
    ap = Apple.valueOf("Winsap"); 
    System.out.println("ap contains " + ap); 
  } 
}
