Java Example - Using enum and switch Statements

To create an enumeration type in Java, use the enum keyword, which implies that the created type is a subclass of java.lang.Enum.

Example code for iterating over an enum and using a switch statement:

Main.java File

enum Car {
    lamborghini, tata, audi, fiat, honda
}
public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Car c;
        c = Car.tata;
        switch(c) {
            case lamborghini:
                System.out.println("You chose lamborghini!");
                break;
            case tata:
                System.out.println("You chose tata!");
                break;
            case audi:
                System.out.println("You chose audi!");
                break;
            case fiat:
                System.out.println("You chose fiat!");
                break;
            case honda:
                System.out.println("You chose honda!");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("I don't know your car model.");
                break;
        }
    }
}

The output of the above code is:

You chose tata!
