Defined Enum inside a class
Take in mind that we deal with enum inside a class , like others members .

Code:

public class EnumTest {
     enum Food {
    BREAD("BREAD"),CHEESE("CHEESE"),MEAT("MEAT");
    private String myfood;
    Food(String s)
    {
      myfood = s ;
    }
  public String getValue()
  {
      
      return myfood ;
  }
     }

 
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
         System.out.println(Food.BREAD.myfood+"  "+Food.BREAD+" "+Food.values());
         new EnumTest2();
    }
}
class EnumTest2 {

    EnumTest2()
    {
        System.out.println(EnumTest.Food.BREAD);
    }
}

As you see the difference , you can access the Enum directly inside a static function .

The output is :

Code:

BREAD  BREAD [LEnumTest$Food;@11b86e7
BREAD
