Can you define the term 'Enumeration' and discuss what it is used for when creating code in Java?

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."
