enum parameter in method declaration

[MaheshS Kumbhar]

class testEnum
{
	
	void test(enum e){}
}

The above code sample does not compile saying modifier enum not allowed here.
Cant we pass enum constants in method call?

[Maneesh Godbole]

enum (lower case 'e') is a keyword.
Enum (upper case 'E') is a class

Switch your code to use the class and things will work your for you.

Please use the code tags correctly; don't double-click the Code button, because it will open and immediately close the code block.

Yes, you can pass enum constants to methods, but you shouldn't use the 'enum' keyword in the method declaration, just like you don't use the 'class' keyword in a method declaration.

enum MyEnum {
    ONE, TWO;
}

class MyClass {
    // Note: Pass a MyEnum, don't use the 'enum' keyword here
    public void method(MyEnum e) {
        // ...
    }
}
