How to define properties for Enum items

Question

I have read the question Difference of Enum between java and C++? but I\'m still confused.

I would like the following to return the related String:

p         


        

Answer 1

If the pattern holds, this works as well and eliminates the repetition:

public enum Checker {
    EMPTY,
    RED,
    YELLOW;


    public String getDescription(){
        String name = name();
        return ""+Character.toUpperCase(name.charAt(0))
                 +name.substring(1).toLowerCase();
    }

}
