Java 1.5新特性Enum的用法
Enum是enumeration(列舉)的簡寫形式,包含在java.lang包中.
public enum Season { winter, spring, summer, fall }
一個enum是定義一組值的對象,它可以包括零個或多個值成員.它是屬于enum類型的,一個enum對象中不可有兩個或多個相同的屬性或值.在次之前的java程序員一般是 用接口的方法實現列舉的,[@more@]public interface Season {
static winter = 0;
static spring = 1; //etc..
}
引入了enum的java的列舉的編寫方便了許多,只須定義一個enum型的對象.enum對象的值都回自動獲得一個數字值,從0開始,依次遞增.看一個比較簡單的enum實現的例子:
EnumDemo.java
package net.javagarage.enums;
/*
We can loop over the values we put into the enum
using the values() method.
Note that the enum Seasons is compiled into a
separate unit, called EnumDemo$Seasons.class
*/
public class EnumDemo {
/*declare the enum and add values to it. note that, like in C#, we don't use a ; to
end this statement and we use commas to separate the values */
private enum Seasons { winter, spring,
summer, fall }
//list the values
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (Seasons s : Seasons.values()){
System.out.println(s);
}
}
}
運行上述代碼你回得到 以下結果:
winter
spring
summer
fall
Enum的屬性調用:
下面的代碼展示了調用enum對象的方法,這也是它通常的用法:
package net.javagarage.enums;
/*
File: EnumSwitch.java
Purpose: show how to switch against the values in an enum.
*/
public class EnumSwitch {
private enum Color { red, blue, green }
//list the values
public static void main(String[] args) {
//refer to the qualif
ied value
doIt(Color.red);
}
/*note that you switch against the UNQUALIFIED name. that is, "case Color.red:" is a
compiler error */
private static void doIt(Color c){
switch (c) {
case red:
System.out.println("value is " + Color.red);
break;
case green:
System.out.println("value is " + Color.green);
break;
case blue:
System.out.println("value is : " + Color.blue);
break;
default :
System.out.println("default");
}
}
}
為enums添加屬性和方法
enums也可以象一般的類一樣添加方法和屬性,你可以為它添加靜態和非靜態的屬性或方法,這一切都象你在一般的類中做的那樣.
package net.javagarage.enums;
/*
File: EnumDemo.java
Purpose: show how to use an enum that also defines its own fields and methods
*/
public class EnumWithMethods {
//declare the enum and add values to it.
public enum Season {
winter, spring, summer, fall;
private final static String location = "Phoenix";
public static Season getBest(){
if (location.equals("Phoenix"))
return winter;
else
return summer;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Season.getBest());
}
}
就是這么的簡單.但是有一點是需要注意的,那就是enums的值列表必須緊跟在enum聲明,不然編譯時將會出錯.
Enums構造函數:
和類一樣enums也可以有自己的構造函數,如下:
package net.javagarage.enums;
public class EnumConstructor {
public static void main(String[] a) {
//call our enum using the values method
for (Temp t : Temp.values())
System.out.println(t + " is : " + t.getValue());
}
//make the enum
public enum Temp {
absoluteZero(-459), freezing(32),
boiling(212), p
aperBurns(451);
//constructor here
Temp(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
//regular field?but make it final,
//since that is the point, to make constants
private final int value;
//regular get method
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
}
}
輸出結果是:
absoluteZero is : -459
freezing is : 32
boiling is : 212
paperBurns is : 451
盡管enums有這么多的屬性,但并不是用的越多越好,如果那樣還不如直接用類來的直接.enums的優勢在定義int最終變量僅當這些值有一定特殊含義時.但是如果你需要的是一個類,就定義一個類,而不是enum.
