If you want to retrieve the index, you can use ordinal. If you want to assign some specific value to String, you may define your own method to retrieve it.

 enum DAY
 {
  MONDAY(10),
  TUESDAY(20);
  int value;
  DAY(int x)
  {
   this.value = x;
  }
  public int getValue()
  {
    return value;
   }

Now value and ordinal can be retrieved as :

    for(DAY s : DAY.values() )
    {
        System.out.println(s.ordinal());
        System.out.println(s.getValue());
    }
