Before describing the enum type, let's look at one of the use cases as the motivation for having such a type. Let's assume we would like to create a class that describes TheBlows family:
public class TheBlows { private String name, relation, hobby = "biking"; private int age; public TheBlows(String name, String relation, int age) { this.name = name; this.relation = relation; this.age = age; } public String getName() { return name; } public String getRelation() { return relation; } public int getAge() { return age; } public String getHobby() { return hobby; } public void setHobby(String hobby) { this.hobby = hobby; }}
We have set the default hobby as biking and will allow to change it later, but other properties have to be set ...
