Enum SymbolNameType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<SymbolNameType>

org.jruby.util.SymbolNameType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<SymbolNameType>

public enum SymbolNameType
extends java.lang.Enum<SymbolNameType>

The characters within a Symbol can represent concepts in Ruby. This enum allows us to precalculate what the symbol could be if it is used in that context. We use the same names as MRI for convenience (except they use -1 to indicate what we will call OTHER).

Method Detail

values

public static SymbolNameType[] 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 (SymbolNameType c : SymbolNameType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static SymbolNameType valueOf(java.lang.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:

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

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
