Throws CloneNotSupportedException.

  Throws CloneNotSupportedException. This guarantees that enums
are never cloned, which is necessary to preserve their "singleton"
status.
Returns: (never returns)

  Compares this enum with the specified object for order.

  Compares this enum with the specified object for order. Returns a
negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less
than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Enum constants are only comparable to other enum constants of the
same enum type. The natural order implemented by this
method is the order in which the constants are declared.

  Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.

  Returns true if the specified object is equal to this
enum constant.
Returns: true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
Parameters:
- other - the object to be compared for equality with this object.

enum classes cannot have finalize methods.

  Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.

  Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's
enum type. Two enum constants e1 and e2 are of the
same enum type if and only if
e1.getDeclaringClass() == e2.getDeclaringClass().
(The value returned by this method may differ from the one returned
by the Object.getClass() method for enum constants with
constant-specific class bodies.)
Returns: the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type

  Returns a hash code for this enum constant.

  Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
Returns: a hash code for this enum constant.

  Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.

  Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its
enum declaration.

Most programmers should use the Enum.toString() method in
preference to this one, as the toString method may return
a more user-friendly name. This method is designed primarily for
use in specialized situations where correctness depends on getting the
exact name, which will not vary from release to release.
Returns: the name of this enum constant

  Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).

  Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position
in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned
an ordinal of zero).

Most programmers will have no use for this method. It is
designed for use by sophisticated enum-based data structures, such
as EnumSet and EnumMap.
Returns: the ordinal of this enumeration constant

  Returns the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name.

  Returns the enum constant of the specified enum type with the
specified name. The name must match exactly an identifier used
to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace
characters are not permitted.)
Returns: the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name
Parameters:
- enumType - the Class object of the enum type from which to return a constant
- name - the name of the constant to return
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if the specified enum type has no constant with the specified name, or the specified class object does not represent an enum type
- NullPointerException - if enumType or name is null
