Is it possible to assign numeric value to an enum in Java?
Extending Bhesh Gurung's answer for assigning values, you can add explicit method to set value
public ExitCode setValue( int value){
// A(104), B(203);
switch(value){
case 104: return ExitCode.A;
case 203: return ExitCode.B;
default:
return ExitCode.Unknown //Keep an default or error enum handy
}
}
From calling application
int i = 104;
ExitCode serverExitCode = ExitCode.setValue(i);
//You've valid enum from now
[Unable to comment to his answer, hence posting it separately]
public enum EXIT_CODE {
A(104), B(203);
private int numVal;
EXIT_CODE(int numVal) {
this.numVal = numVal;
}
public int getNumVal() {
return numVal;
}
}
Yes, and then some, example from documentation:
public enum Planet {
MERCURY (3.303e+23, 2.4397e6),
VENUS (4.869e+24, 6.0518e6),
EARTH (5.976e+24, 6.37814e6),
MARS (6.421e+23, 3.3972e6),
JUPITER (1.9e+27, 7.1492e7),
SATURN (5.688e+26, 6.0268e7),
URANUS (8.686e+25, 2.5559e7),
NEPTUNE (1.024e+26, 2.4746e7);
// in kilograms
private final double mass;
// in meters
private final double radius;
Planet(double mass, double radius) {
this.mass = mass;
this.radius = radius;
}
private double mass() { return mass; }
private double radius() { return radius; }
// universal gravitational
// constant (m3 kg-1 s-2)
public static final double G = 6.67300E-11;
double surfaceGravity() {
return G * mass / (radius * radius);
}
double surfaceWeight(double otherMass) {
return otherMass * surfaceGravity();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.err.println("Usage: java Planet <earth_weight>");
System.exit(-1);
}
double earthWeight = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
double mass = earthWeight/EARTH.surfaceGravity();
for (Planet p : Planet.values())
System.out.printf("Your weight on %s is %f%n",
p, p.surfaceWeight(mass));
}
}
If you're looking for a way to group constants in a class, you can use a static inner class:
public class OuterClass {
public void exit(boolean isTrue){
if(isTrue){
System.exit(ExitCode.A);
}else{
System.exit(ExitCode.B);
}
}
public static class ExitCode{
public static final int A = 203;
public static final int B = 204;
}
}
