java中枚举类型的简单使用

 * 1. enum has equal position to class and interface

枚举类型和class海油interface具有对等的地位，不要把它和int String 类型等同起来，这一点从它的形式就可以看出来

 * 2. each content in enum has a index of int type

在枚举类中，每一个枚举项都有一个int类型的值与之对应，可以把枚举类型中的内容看做一个数组，数组下标从0开始

 * 3. the method values() return the array of enum type

values()方法返回枚举类型的数组

 * 4. the method valueOf() can convert String type to enum type

valueOf(String str)方法可以将字符串转化为枚举类型，注意这里的字符串必须在枚举类型的内容中包含

 * 5. in fact, the method compareTo() used in comparing the index of enum object 

compareTo()比较的是枚举类型在枚举类中对应的下标a.compareTo(b)   相当于a.index - b.index

 * 6. the method ordinal() return the index

ordinal()返回枚举类型对象对应的下标

/**
 * 
 * @author zero
 * 1. enum has equal position to class and interface
 * 2. each content in enum has a index of int type
 * 3. the method values() return the array of enum type
 * 4. the method valueOf() can convert String type to enum type
 * 5. in fact, the method compareTo() used in comparing the index of enum object  
 * 5. the method ordinal() return the index

public class EnumerationTest {
	public enum Season {
		Spring,Summer,Autumn,Winter
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		for(Season test : Season.values()) {
			System.out.print(test + " ");
		}
		
		Season autumnSeason  = Season.valueOf("Autumn");
		System.out.println("\n" + autumnSeason + ":" + autumnSeason.ordinal());
		
		for(Season test : Season.values()) {
			System.out.println(autumnSeason + "----" + test + ":" + autumnSeason.compareTo(test));
		}
		
	}
}

运行结果：

Spring Summer Autumn Winter
Autumn:2
Autumn----Spring:2
Autumn----Summer:1
Autumn----Autumn:0
Autumn----Winter:-1
