- What's the advantage of a Java enum versus a class with public static final fields? 15 answers
- 与具有公共静态最终字段的类相比,Java enum的优点是什么?15个答案
I was trying to understand how Java enum really works and I have come to the conclusion that it is very similar to a normal Java class that has its constructor declared private.
我试图理解Java enum是如何工作的,我得出的结论是,它非常类似于声明为private的普通Java类。
I have just come to this conclusion and it isn't based on much thinking, but Id like to know whether I miss anything.
我刚得出这个结论,它不是基于太多的思考,但我想知道我是否遗漏了什么。
So below is an implementation of a simple Java enum and an equivalent Java class.
因此,下面是一个简单的Java枚举和一个等效的Java类的实现。
public enum Direction {
ENUM_UP(0, -1),
ENUM_DOWN(0, 1),
ENUM_RIGHT(1, 0),
ENUM_LEFT(-1, 0);
private int x;
private int y;
private Direction(int x, int y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public int getEnumX(){
return x;
}
public int getEnumY(){
return y;
}
}
What is the difference in meaning between the code above and below?
上面的代码和下面的代码有什么不同?
public class Direction{
public static final Direction UP = new Direction(0, -1) ;
public static final Direction DOWN = new Direction(0, 1) ;
public static final Direction LEFT = new Direction(-1, 0) ;
public static final Direction RIGHT = new Direction(1, 0) ;
private int x ;
private int y ;
private Direction(int x, int y){
this.x = x ;
this.y = y ;
}
public int getX(){
return x;
}
public int getY(){
return y;
}
}

public static (Enum)[] values();
- 公共静态(枚举)[]值();
public static (Enum) valueOf(java.lang.String);
- 公共静态(枚举)返回对象的值(以);
-
private static final (Enum)[] $VALUES;

returns a clone of this) - 私有静态final (Enum)[] $值;(values()返回这个的克隆)

To answer the question: essentially, there's no difference between the two approaches. However, enum construct provides you with some additional supporting methods like values()
, valueOf()
, etc. which you'd have to write on your own with the class-with-private-constructor approach.
回答这个问题:本质上,这两种方法没有区别。然而,enum构造为您提供了一些额外的支持方法,比如values()、valueOf()等,您必须使用private构造函数方法自己编写这些方法。
But yeah, I like how Java enums are mostly just like any other classes in Java, they can have fields, behaviors, etc. But to me what separates enums from the plain classes is the idea that enums are classes/types whose instances/members are predetermined. Unlike usual classes where you can create any number of instances from, enums only limit creation to known instances. Yes, as you've illustrated, you can also do this with classes with private constructors, but enums just make this more intuitive.
但是,我喜欢Java枚举和Java中的其他类一样,它们可以有字段、行为等等。但是对我来说,将枚举与普通类分开的是,枚举是类/类型,其实例/成员是预先确定的。不像通常的类,您可以创建任意数量的实例,枚举只将创建限制为已知的实例。是的,正如您所演示的,您也可以使用私有构造函数来实现这一点,但是enum只会使这一点更加直观。

Take a look at this blogpage, it describes how Java enum
s are compiled into bytecode. You'll see that there's a small addition compared to your second code sample, which is an array of Direction
objects called VALUES
. This array holds all possible values for your enum, so you won't be able to do
看看这个博客页面,它描述了如何将Java枚举编译成字节码。与第二个代码示例相比,您将看到一个小的添加,该示例是一个名为VALUES的方向对象数组。这个数组包含枚举的所有可能值,因此您将无法执行。
new Direction(2, 2)
(for example using reflection) and then use that as a valid Direction
value.
(例如使用反射)然后将其用作有效的方向值。
Plus, as @Eng.Fouad correctly explains, you don't have values()
, valueOf()
and ordinal()

The main difference is the each enum
class implicitly extends Enum<E extends Enum<E>>
class. This leads to that:
主要的区别是每个enum类隐式扩展enum
-
enum
objects have such methods asname()
andordinal()
- enum对象具有名称()和序号()等方法
-
enum
objects have specialtoString()
,hashCode()
,equals()
andcompareTo()
implementations - enum对象具有特殊的toString()、hashCode()、equals()和compareTo()实现
-
enum
objects are suitable forswitch
operator. - enum对象适用于开关操作符。
All mentioned above is not applicable for your version of Direction
class. This is the "meaning" difference.
