public class Eggmun01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // trick to avoid having to static everything
        new Eggmun01().rin(args);
    }

    enum Color
    {
        RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW
    }

    // our non-static main()
    public void rin(String[] args)
    {
        Color one = Color.BLUE;
        Color two = Color.YELLOW;



        // first example; most frequent usage

        if (one == Color.BLUE)
        {
            System.out.println("Color one is blue");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Color one is not blue");
        }



        // second example; using an enum value as:
        //  - a string (implicit typecasting)
        //  - or int (explicit typecasting)

        System.out.println("Color one is " + one + " which is color " + one.ordinal() + " in the enum");



        // third example; comparing enum variables

        if (one == two)
        {
            System.out.println("The colors match");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("The colors does not match");
        }



        // fourth example; list colors in the enum

        Color[] yeah = Color.values();

        for (int i = 0; i < yeah.length; i++)
        {
            System.out.print(yeah[i] + ", ");
        }

        System.out.println();



        // fifth example; echo color #n

        System.out.print("The 2nd color is " + Color.values()[2]);



        // HTH
    }
