Вивчайте Enums with Fields and Constructors

When you want each enum constant to carry additional information, you can add fields and constructors to your enum. This allows you to associate data with each constant, making your enums far more useful than simple named values. To do this, you declare fields just like in a regular class, and define a constructor that initializes these fields. Each constant then provides values for these fields in its declaration.

Planet.java


              123456789101112131415161718192021222324
            
package com.example;

public enum Planet {
    MERCURY(3.303e+23, 2.4397e6),
    VENUS(4.869e+24, 6.0518e6),
    EARTH(5.976e+24, 6.37814e6),
    MARS(6.421e+23, 3.3972e6);

    private final double mass;   // in kilograms
    private final double radius; // in meters

    Planet(double mass, double radius) {
        this.mass = mass;
        this.radius = radius;
    }

    public double getMass() {
        return mass;
    }

    public double getRadius() {
        return radius;
    }
}

To access the fields of an enum constant, you use the getter methods just as you would for any class. This approach lets you encapsulate related data and logic inside each enum constant, making your code more readable and maintainable. By bundling data with enum constants, you avoid scattered data structures and keep related information together.

Main.java


              12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031
            
package com.example;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Planet planet = Planet.EARTH;
        System.out.println("The mass of " + planet + " is " + planet.getMass() + " kg.");
    }
}

enum Planet {
    MERCURY(3.303e+23, 2.4397e6),
    VENUS(4.869e+24, 6.0518e6),
    EARTH(5.976e+24, 6.37814e6),
    MARS(6.421e+23, 3.3972e6);

    private final double mass;   // in kilograms
    private final double radius; // in meters

    Planet(double mass, double radius) {
        this.mass = mass;
        this.radius = radius;
    }

    public double getMass() {
        return mass;
    }

    public double getRadius() {
        return radius;
    }
}
