Perhap this is a simple basic question
Having an enum
public enum TK{
ID,GROUP,DATA,FAIL;
}
Can I get the order number for example ID=0, GROUP=2, DATA=3, FAIL=4 ?
This is a way to to that, but a weird and long one! =S
public enum TK{
ID(0),GROUP(1),DATA(2),FAIL(3);
int num;
TK(int n)
{
this.num=n;
}
public int get()
{
return num;
}
};
to get numbers so I write TK.ID.get(), TK.GROUP.get(), etc... I don't like that
there is a better way?
( C enums, C macros..I miss you both )
thanks
