question on enum

[Rupak Khurana]

Is there anyway to make the following code compile. The compiler complains about undefined symbol LIGHT, DARK.. If I comment Line 1 and uncomment Line 2, it will compile. But I want Line 1. Any ideas.. tricks...?

 
enum colors 
{
RED(LIGHT),GREEN(DARK),YELLOW(LIGHT),BLUE(DARK); //Line 1
//RED,GREEN,YELLOW,BLUE;                         //Line 2
 
enum shades 
{
LIGHT, DARK;
}
 
private shades myshade;
 
 
public String toString()
{
return "Color : " + name() + ", Shade : " + myshade;
}
 

colors ( shades s)
{
myshade = s;
}
 
colors () {}
 
public static void main(String args[])
{
for (colors col:colors.values()) 
{
System.out.println(col);
}
}
}

Use shades.LIGHT etc. in your Line 1

Hi Rupak,

The only thing that was missing was the name of the type before the enummeration value: "shades.LIGHT" instead of just "LIGHT".

...Ariel

public enum Colors {
RED(shades.LIGHT), GREEN(shades.DARK), YELLOW(shades.LIGHT), BLUE(
shades.DARK);
 
enum shades {
LIGHT, DARK;
}
 
private shades myshade;
 
public String toString() {
return "Color : " + name() + ", Shade : " + myshade;
}
 
Colors(shades s) {
myshade = s;
}
 
Colors() {
}
 
public static void main(String args[]) {
for (Colors col : Colors.values()) {
System.out.println(col);
}
}
}
