Java: Check if enum contains a given string?

Question

Here\'s my problem - I\'m looking for (if it even exists) the enum equivalent of ArrayList.contains();.

Here\'s a sample of my code problem:

<         


        

Answer 1

It is an enum, those are constant values so if its in a switch statement its just doing something like this:

case: val1
case: val2

Also why would you need to know what is declared as a constant?
