Sole constructor. Programmers cannot invoke this constructor. It is for use by code emitted by the compiler in response to enum type declarations.

name	- The name of this enum constant, which is the identifier used to declare it.
ordinal	- The ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in the enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).

Throws CloneNotSupportedException. This guarantees that enums are never cloned, which is necessary to preserve their "singleton" status.

return

(never returns)

Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.

other	the object to be compared for equality with this object.
return	true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.

Returns a hash code for this enum constant.

return

a hash code for this enum constant.

Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration. Most programmers should use the #toString method in preference to this one, as the toString method may return a more user-friendly name. This method is designed primarily for use in specialized situations where correctness depends on getting the exact name, which will not vary from release to release.

return

the name of this enum constant

Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero). Most programmers will have no use for this method. It is designed for use by sophisticated enum-based data structures, such as java.util.EnumSet and java.util.EnumMap.

return

the ordinal of this enumeration constant

Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration. This method may be overridden, though it typically isn't necessary or desirable. An enum type should override this method when a more "programmer-friendly" string form exists.

return

the name of this enum constant

Returns the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name. The name must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

enumType	the Class object of the enum type from which to return a constant
name	the name of the constant to return
return	the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name
Throws	IllegalArgumentException: if the specified enum type has no constant with the specified name, or the specified class object does not represent an enum type
Throws	NullPointerException: if enumType or name is null
since	1.5

Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type. Two enum constants e1 and e2 are of the same enum type if and only if e1.getDeclaringClass() == e2.getDeclaringClass(). (The value returned by this method may differ from the one returned by the Object#getClass method for enum constants with constant-specific class bodies.)

return

the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type
