Method Detail

values

public static CardValue[] values()

for (CardValue c : CardValue.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CardValue 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:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of this value.

The value names can be either "2", "3", ..., "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King", or "Ace".

Effects:
