Final : a value is set final to make it a constant, that is it can never be changed. Enum : We create a datatype just like int, float, etc., and also define, what values the user can enter. Eg: final b=10; Any action on b will never change its value enum Month {Jan,May,Apr}; Month a; a is a variable of datatype Month and can hold only the values specified. Either Jan or May or Apr

Enums are special classes used to define constants and normally used for things like days of the week, planets , point of compass etc. And also enums are already final and static. For more information visit tutorialspoint or stack overflow

final gets one value and that can't be changed but we can declare final and set it's value later, like final int a; //code a=7; enums are all predefined and there is few of them, as Ousmane said. if u have 1 or 2 variables use final in any case..
