Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Enum

final Object	clone () `Enum` objects are singletons, they may not be cloned.
final int	compareTo (E o) Compares this object to the specified enum object to determine their relative order.
final boolean	equals ( Object other) Compares this object with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
final void	finalize () Enum types may not have finalizers.
final Class <E>	getDeclaringClass () Returns the enum constant's declaring class.
final int	hashCode () Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final String	name () Returns the name of this enum constant.
final int	ordinal () Returns the position of the enum constant in the declaration.
String	toString () Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
static <T extends Enum <T>> T	, java.lang.String)">valueOf ( Class <T> enumType, String name) Returns the constant with the specified name of the specified enum type.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone () Creates and returns a copy of this `Object` .
boolean	equals ( Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize () Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class <?>	getClass () Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode () Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify () Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll () Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString () Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait () Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
final void	wait (long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait (long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
