Enum WhichEntity

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<WhichEntity>
    public enum WhichEntity
extends java.lang.Enum<WhichEntity>
    This 'enum' is used to identify of which inheriting sub-class 'this' instance is. If 'this' is an instance of PPR, then the field 'this.which' will be equal to the Enum-Constant ClassPPR. If 'this' is a TCE instance, then 'this.which' equals ClassTCE.

    Base-Class Entity has only thtwworee sub-classes (class which inherit from Enity). They are PPR and TCE. As a result, this 'enum' has exactly two constants.

        public static WhichEntity[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (WhichEntity c : WhichEntity.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

        public static WhichEntity valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
