Problem statement

In this program, we will convert a string variable into an "enum" constant using the valueOf() method and print the result.

Java program to convert the string into an enum constant

The source code to convert the string into an enum constant is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to convert the string 
// into an enum constant

public class Main {
  enum Vehicle {
    BIKE,
    CAR,
    BUS
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String str = "BUS";

    Vehicle v = Vehicle.valueOf(str);

    System.out.println(str);
  }
}

Output

BUS

Explanation

In the above program, we created an enumeration Vehicle inside class Main. The enum Vehicle contains 3 constants BIKE, CAR, BUS. The Main class also contains a static method main(). The main() method is the entry point for the program, here we created a string variable initialized with "BUS". Then we converted the string into an enum constant using the valueOf() method and printed the result.
