add property of type enum to class

[Suresh Khant]

Dear All ,
I have the following class :

Student.java

public class Student {

	private int registerNumber;
	private String name;
	private int totalMarks;

	public int getRegisterNumber() {
		return registerNumber;
	}

	public void setRegisterNumber(int registerNumber) {
		this.registerNumber = registerNumber;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public int getTotalMarks() {
		return totalMarks;
	}

	public void setTotalMarks(int totalMarks) {
		this.totalMarks = totalMarks;
	}

}

I want to add to the above class property for the result which will be 'Pass' or 'Fail' using enum , how i can do that ...

[Wouter Oet]

Create a enum, add it to the class and provide methods for accessing it.

thanks Wouter Oet for your reply but how to access the enum

i have added the following : is it right ? how i can access the enum , create setter and getter ?

public class Student {

	private int registerNumber;
	private String name;
	private int totalMarks;
	
	private enum ExamResult{
		pass,fail;
		
		private int result;
		public int getResult(){
			return result;
		}
		public void setResult(int result){
			this.result = result;
		}
	}

	public int getRegisterNumber() {
		return registerNumber;
	}

	public void setRegisterNumber(int registerNumber) {
		this.registerNumber = registerNumber;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public int getTotalMarks() {
		return totalMarks;
	}

	public void setTotalMarks(int totalMarks) {
		this.totalMarks = totalMarks;
	}
	
	

}

You're getting a bit confused there. The enum really ought to be separate from the Student class. And more importantly, the type of the property is the enum, not an int. Something like this:

public enum ExamResult { Pass, Fail }

public class Student {
    // ...
    private ExamResult result;
    public ExamResult getResult() { return result; }
    public void setResult(ExamResult result) { this.result = result; }
    // ...
}
