Enum Modifier

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Modifier> 

    public enum Modifier
extends Enum<Modifier>
    Represents a modifier on a program element such as a class, method, or field.

    Not all modifiers are applicable to all kinds of elements. When two or more modifiers appear in the source code of an element then it is customary, though not required, that they appear in the same order as the constants listed in the detail section below.

    Note that it is possible additional modifiers will be added in future versions of the platform.

        for (Modifier c : Modifier.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static Modifier valueOf(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:
