Enum overloaded constructer

[Ameen khan]

can anybody give me an example of overloaded constructers in enum and how to use its enum value

[Ameen khan]

e.g
enum CoffeeSize {

BIG(8), HUGE(10), OVERWHELMING(16);
BIG(9,"a");
// the arguments after the enum value are "passed"
// as values to the constructor

CoffeeSize(int ounces) {

this.ounces = ounces; // assign the value to
// an instance variable
}

private int ounces; // an instance variable each enum
// value has
public int getOunces() {
return ounces;
}
}

class Coffee {
CoffeeSize size; // each instance of Coffee has-a
// CoffeeSize enum

public static void main(String[] args) {
Coffee drink1 = new Coffee();
drinkl.size = CoffeeSize.BIG;//
//how to assign second overloaded form for BIG(9,"a")

Coffee drink2 = new Coffee();
drink2.size = CoffeeSize. OVERWHELMING;

System.out.println(drinkl.size.getOunces()); // prints 8
System.out.println(drink2.size. getOunces()); // prints 16
}
}

Hello

Here is the example for you.

  
public class TestEnum{
public enum FRUIT {MANGO("spring"),DATES("spring","winter"), ORANGE("winter");

FRUIT(String season1_){
season1 = season1_;
}

FRUIT(String season1_, String season2_){
season1 = season1_;
season2 = season2_;
}

private String season1;
private String season2;

}

public static void main(String[] str){
System.out.println(FRUIT.MANGO+" season is "+FRUIT.MANGO.season1+" ,"+FRUIT.MANGO.season2);
System.out.println(FRUIT.DATES+" season is "+FRUIT.DATES.season1+" ,"+FRUIT.DATES.season2);
System.out.println(FRUIT.ORANGE+" season is "+FRUIT.ORANGE.season1+" ,"+FRUIT.ORANGE.season2);
}
}
 

And the output is as follows:

MANGO season is spring ,null
DATES season is spring ,winter
ORANGE season is winter ,null

Hope it help!

Thanks
