java的enum其实是一个类。编译器根据你enum的定义会为你生成一个 java.lang.Enum<E>的子类。java.lang.Enum<E>是一个抽象类,定义了很多final方法,也就是说你定义的enum类里不能覆盖它们,你唯一能覆盖的是Object.toString类。同时你定义的enum类是不能被继承的。
先来看看java.lang.Enum类的代码
注意,更具
编码规范,
枚举值应该全大写(按照常量编写规范)

如上所示,它本身提供了很多方法。
当然我们写的enum,将会直接从上面的父类继承下这些方法来。
例1
package test;
public enum Enum1 {
ONE, TWO, THREE
}
package test;
public class TestEnum1 {
/**
* 描述:
* @param args
* @author liyixing 2013-12-13 下午4:52:01
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (Enum1 n: Enum1.values()) {
System.out.println("ordinal: " + n.ordinal()); // enum's int value, start from 0 by default
System.out.println(n.compareTo(Enum1.TWO));
System.out.println(n == Enum1.THREE);
System.out.println(n.name());
System.out.println(n.getDeclaringClass()); // Number
}
}
}
在使用枚举时,必须用类型名作前缀,比如Number.ONE,而不能直接用ONE。如果
你需要这种便利的话,可以用import static Number.*;来达到目的。
如
import static test.Enum1.ONE;
System.out.println(Enum1.ONE == ONE); //
另外使用在switch语句中
switch (n) {
case ONE:
break;
case TWO:
break;
default:
break;
}
这里如果写case Enum1.ONE是不允许的。
我们可以往enum里添加属性和方法,
构造函数:
需要注意的是,构造函数只能使用private或者不写(默认是private)修饰符
package test;
public enum Enum1 {
ONE, TWO, THREE;
private String name;
public Integer id;
// 默认构造
private Enum1() {
}
// 带参数构造
Enum1(String name) {
}
private void print() {
System.out.println(name);
}
public String say() {
print();
return name;
}
}
