      • values

        public static VariableType.ValueSet[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (VariableType.ValueSet c : VariableType.ValueSet.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static VariableType.ValueSet 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
      • value

        public String value()
        Returns:
        The java.lang.String value of the code represented by this enum
      • from

        public static VariableType.ValueSet from​(String value)
        Factory method for creating VariableType.ValueSet values from a passed string value.
        Parameters:
        value - A string that matches one of the allowed code values
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - If the passed string cannot be parsed into an allowed code value
