Special characters in an enum

Question

I want to put the special characters, the parentheses ( \'(\' and \')\' ) and the apostrophe (\'), in an enum.

I had this:

private enum specialChars{         


        

Answer 1

You should use something like this instead:

private enum SpecialChars {
   LEFT_BRACKET('('),
   RIGHT_BRACKET(')'),
   QUOTE('\'');

   char c;

   SpecialChars(char c) {
     this.c = c;
   }

   public char getChar() {
     return c;
   }
}
