Passing in a DAUNT Faction Type for Daunt Class

[Robben]

Homework Statement

Suppose I have an enum class named Faction and one of the constants is named DAUNT. I created a Daunt class of the enum but how can I pass in a DAUNT faction type in for Daunt?

Homework Equations

None

The Attempt at a Solution

public enum Faction {
   ALMIGHTY, AMBITION, DAUNT, RESTLESS, CAN;
}

public class Daunt {

public Daunt() {
}

}

There is no connection between the DAUNT enum and Daunt class other than a similarity in the name

As an example, you could add a

Class Daunt {
    Faction myenum = Faction.DAUNT;
    ...
}

as an attribute in the Daunt class and a getter to retrieve it.

I see so then in order to retrieve it I will do

public getMyenum() {
    return myenum;
}

Yes that's one way.

 

[Robben]

Yes that's one way.

What will the value of the return type of myenum be? Will it have no value? For example, I won't have to declare int or String into my getter, i.e. public int getMyenum()?

Actually, I figured it out. It will be Faction. Thank you very much! I should have never majored in math and should have majored in CS.

 

[jedishrfu]

Nah math is cool too.

Always appreciate what you learn because it will help you learn more.

@Robben, you need to include the return type (Faction) in your definition of getMyenum.

public Faction getMyenum() {
    return myenum;
}

Understood. Thank you!
