class Enumeration
[source: scala/Enumeration.scala]
abstract class Enumeration(initial : Int, names : java.lang.String*)
extends AnyRef

Defines a finite set of values specific to the enumeration. Typically these values enumerate all possible forms something can take and provide a lightweight alternative to case classes.

Each call to a Value method adds a new unique value to the enumeration. To be accessible, these values are usually defined as val members of the evaluation.

All values in an enumeration share a common, unique type defined as the Value type member of the enumeration (Value selected on the stable identifier path of the enumeration instance).

Example use 

  object Main extends Application {

    object WeekDays extends Enumeration {
      val Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun = Value
    }

    def isWorkingDay(d: WeekDays.Value) =
      ! (d == WeekDays.Sat || d == WeekDays.Sun)
 
    WeekDays filter (isWorkingDay) foreach { d => Console.println(d) }
  }
Parameters
initial - The initial value from which to count the integers that identifies values at run-time.
names - The sequence of names to give to this enumeration's values.

Method Summary
def Set32 : Set32
create an empty 32 bit enumeration set
def Set32 (underlying : Int) : Set32
create a bit enumeration set according ot underlying
def Set64 : Set64
create an empty 64 bit enumeration set
def Set64 (underlying : Long) : Set64
create a bit enumeration set according ot underlying
protected final def Value (i : Int) : Value
Creates a fresh value, part of this enumeration, identified by the integer i.
protected final def Value (i : Int, name : java.lang.String) : Value
Creates a fresh value, part of this enumeration, called name and identified by the integer i.
protected final def Value : Value
Creates a fresh value, part of this enumeration.
protected final def Value (name : java.lang.String) : Value
Creates a fresh value, part of this enumeration, called name.
final def apply (x : Int) : Value
The value in this enumeration identified by integer x.
final def elements : Iterator[Value]
A new iterator over all values of this enumeration.
def exists (p : (Value) => Boolean) : Boolean
Apply a predicate p to all values of this enumeration and return true, iff there is at least one value for which p yields true.
def filter (p : (Value) => Boolean) : Iterator[Value]
Returns all values of this enumeration that satisfy the predicate p. The order of values is preserved.
def flatMap [b](f : (Value) => Iterator[b]) : Iterator[b]
Applies the given function f to each value of this enumeration, then concatenates the results.
def forall (p : (Value) => Boolean) : Boolean
Apply a predicate p to all values of this enumeration and return true, iff the predicate yields true for all values.
def foreach (f : (Value) => Unit) : Unit
Apply a function f to all values of this enumeration.
def map [b](f : (Value) => b) : Iterator[b]
Returns an iterator resulting from applying the given function f to each value of this enumeration.
def maskToBit (n : Long) : Int
used to reverse engineer bit locations from pre-defined bit masks
final def maxId : Int
The highest integer amongst those used to identify values in this enumeration.
def name : java.lang.String
The name of this enumeration.

Class Summary
class Set32 (val underlying : Int) extends SetXX
An enumeration bit set that can handle enumeration values with ids up to 31 in an Int.
class Set64 (val underlying : Long) extends SetXX
An enumeration bit set that can handle enumeration values with ids up to 63 in a Long.
abstract class SetXX extends Set[Value]
A set that efficiently stores enumeration values as bits.
protected class Val (i : Int, name : java.lang.String) extends Value
A class implementing the Value type. This class can be overriden to change the enumeration's naming and integer identification behaviour.
abstract class Value extends Ordered[Value]
The type of the enumerated values.
