Can you define the term 'Enumeration' and discuss what it is used for when creating code in Java?
This is a question the interviewer will ask early in the interview for a java developer's job in which the Enum is used. Interviewers use these questions to begin the conversation, learn more about your background, and collect information they can use later in the interview. This is known as an opening question.
When answering general questions like this, make sure you address the interviewer's question in full, providing all the information they are requesting. Keep your answer brief and to the point, and don't embellish. The interviewer will always ask a follow-up question if they need additional information.
"An Enumeration is an interface that contains techniques for retrieving the underlying data structure from which the Enumeration is obtained. It allows sequential access to all the elements stored in the associated collection."
