Enumerations are implemented as final static ints in their own
Java class and, as such, are accessed just like variables in that
class. Recall the specification of a car enumeration
type, from Section 5.3 and repeated
below, defines three constants porsche, ford, and
mercedes.
enum car { porsche = 911, ford = 150, mercedes = 550 };
The value of the porsche constant, for example, can be accessed through enums.car.porsche.
