[marwex89]

Read up on it
Enums return integers

[marwex89]

Sry for double post....

Read this? Java: Enums

[TcM]

Yeah I know what enums are...

[marwex89]

Yeah, but that page also gives an example on using them with case statements.

[TcM]

Great.. sorry didn't see the link.. I think we posted at the same time. Gonna take a look at it now.

[marwex89]

Oh, ok

[TcM]

So there the user can input a string and the compare it to the enum and the get the value of the enum?

[marwex89]

Dunno, didn't read the details..

switch (drawing) {
    case RECTANGLE: (...)

This is what you need.... You just make an enum (MyDearStringEnum ) with these string
elements ("black", "blue", "yellow", "TcM" etc) and put

switch (MyDearStringEnum)
case "black": etc...

Or just use ifs.

[TcM]

Yeah and they you just get the value or whatever you need.. Thanks
