Java program to create a simple enum

The source code to create a simple enum is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to create a simple enum

enum Vehicle {
  BIKE,
  CAR,
  BUS
}

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Vehicle car = Vehicle.CAR;
    System.out.println("Vehicle is: " + car);
  }
}

Output

Vehicle is: CAR

Explanation

In the above program, we created an enumeration and a class Main. The enum Vehicle contains 3 constants BIKE, CAR, BUS. The Main class contains a static method main(). The main() method is the entry point for the program, here we created an object of enum and initialized it with CAR constant. After that, we printed the enum constant.
