Java enum example

Some of the Java enum examples, and how to use it, nothing special, just for self-reference.
Note
Consider the Enum type if your program consists of a fixed set of constants, like seasons of the year, operations calculator, user status and etc.

1. Basic Enum

UserStatus.java
public enum UserStatus {
PENDING,
ACTIVE,
INACTIVE,
DELETED;
}
Test.java
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//ACTIVE
System.out.println(UserStatus.ACTIVE);

}

}

2. Enum + Instance field

WhoisRIR.java
public enum WhoisRIR {
ARIN("whois.arin.net"),
RIPE("whois.ripe.net"),
APNIC("whois.apnic.net"),
AFRINIC("whois.afrinic.net"),
LACNIC("whois.lacnic.net"),
JPNIC("whois.nic.ad.jp"),
KRNIC("whois.nic.or.kr"),
CNNIC("ipwhois.cnnic.cn"),
UNKNOWN("");

private String url;

WhoisRIR(String url) {
this.url = url;
}

public String url() {
return url;
}
}
Test.java
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//whois.arin.net
System.out.println(WhoisRIR.ARIN.url());

}

}

3. Enum + Method + Some logic

Operation.java
public enum Operation {
PLUS,
MINUS,
TIMES,
DIVIDE;

double calculate(double x, double y) {
switch (this) {
case PLUS:
return x + y;
case MINUS:
return x - y;
case TIMES:
return x * y;
case DIVIDE:
return x / y;
default:
throw new AssertionError("Unknown operations " + this);
}
}

}
Test.java
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

double result = Operation.PLUS.calculate(1, 2);
System.out.println(result); //3.0

}

}

4. How to use Enum

4.1 To loop a Enum object.
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

for (UserStatus status : UserStatus.values()) {
System.out.println(status);
}

}

}
Output
PENDING
ACTIVE
INACTIVE
DELETED
4.2 To compare the Enum values, use == operator.
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WhoisRIR rir = WhoisRIR.APNIC;

if(rir == WhoisRIR.APNIC) {
System.out.println("This is APNIC : " + rir.url());
}

}

}
Output
This is APNIC : whois.apnic.net
4.3 Switch case.
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WhoisRIR rir = WhoisRIR.RIPE;

switch (rir) {
case ARIN:
System.out.println("This is ARIN");
break;
case APNIC:
System.out.println("This is APNIC");
break;
case RIPE:
System.out.println("This is RIPE");
break;
default:
throw new AssertionError("Unknown RIR " + rir);

}

}
}
Output
This is RIPE
4.2 Convert a String to Enum object.
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//enum valueOf + uppercase
Operation op = Operation.valueOf("times".toUpperCase());
System.out.println(op.calculate(10, 3));

}
}
Output
30.0
