Java Enum Examples

Description:

Few points about enum types are:

they are implicitly final subclasses of java.lang.Enum. Enum constants are by default public static final fields. If you declare Enum is a member of your class, then by default it is static. We should not use new operator with enum type at anytime.

wait Vs sleep methods

sleep(): It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.

wait(): It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block. The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
