Program: Basic Enum example.

This example defines a basic enum type called Fruits. It contains few constants representing fruits. The switch case uses these constants to execute conditions.

package com.java2novice.enums;

public class MyBasicEnum {

	private Fruits myFruit;
	
	public MyBasicEnum(Fruits fruit){
		this.myFruit = fruit;
	}
	
	public void getFruitDesc(){
		
		switch (myFruit) {
	        case GRAPE:
	            System.out.println("A grape is a non-climacteric fruit.");
	            break;
	                
	        case APPLE:
	            System.out.println("The apple is the pomaceous fruit.");
	            break;
	                     
	        case MANGO: 
	            System.out.println("The mango is a fleshy stone fruit.");
	            break;
	         
	        case LEMON: 
	        	System.out.println("Lemons are slow growing varieties of citrus.");
	            break;
	            
	        default:
	            System.out.println("No desc available.");
	            break;
	    }
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		MyBasicEnum grape = new MyBasicEnum(Fruits.GRAPE);
		grape.getFruitDesc();
		MyBasicEnum apple = new MyBasicEnum(Fruits.APPLE);
		apple.getFruitDesc();
		MyBasicEnum lemon = new MyBasicEnum(Fruits.LEMON);
		lemon.getFruitDesc();
		MyBasicEnum guava = new MyBasicEnum(Fruits.GUAVA);
		guava.getFruitDesc();
	}
}

enum Fruits {
    GRAPE, APPLE, MANGO, LEMON,GUAVA 
}
