Random Enum Values in Java?

Question

How do I select random values out of an enum?
Why wont this work?
"enum e{One, Two, Three, Four, Five};
Random r = new Random();
e myEnum = r.nextInt(4);"

Answer 1

First thing, enum(s) in Java are NOT integer.
enum(s) in java are 'classes', while enum 'values' are objects.

e myEnum = r.nextInt(4);

This will try to cast a primitive type int into an object of the class 'e'.
It won't work.

Try this:

int n = r.nextInt(4);
e[] values = e.values(); // this static method will get an array of 'e'
e eVal = values[n];

Tip: enums are a kind of classes, as a naming convention they should start with uppercase.
