How do I get the value from an enum?

Question

Say I write an enum called ExampleEnum. The constants I write in it are AND, OR, NOT
How do i check if the value of a ExampleEnum object is one of those ?

For instance I have: public boolean checkValue()
which checks if the value of the enum is AND or OR and returns true for them, otherwise returns false. Does doing “if (this == ExampleEnum.NOT)” and so forth work? Or is there another keyword I’m supposed to be using?

Answer 1

I think it should work.

Here is an example with switch:
