Can I use bitwise OR for Java Enums

Question

Suppose you have an enum Direction

enum Direction{
    North,South,East West
}

Could I write a method that uses bitwise or\'s to compare mu

Answer 1

You can't use a bitwise or like that. Try something more like this:

public boolean canGoDirection(Set dirs){
     return dirs.contains(Direction.North);
}

called like this:

this.canGoDirection(EnumSet.of(Direction.South,Direction.North));
