[Request] enums

[danthe1st]

The Classes and Objects section mentions covering enumerations. However, that part is missing.

I think a page about enumerations should be added there:

• What are enumerations?
• How to create them?
• What functionality do enumerations provide in Java?

Ya it does seem like we're missing a page on enums, thanks. Would you like to contribute something?

[danthe1st]

Yeah, I would like to write up something.

[danthe1st]

Do I need to wait for this issue to get the [request] label in order to create a proposal issue?

[carimura]

Just approved this issue. You can assign it to yourself and start work!

I think only maintainers/collaborators can assign issues.

In the meantime, this is my current draft (content-only): https://gist.github.com/danthe1st/b7ff869ee179ffbcf7e5bc9c1ca63c3d

@danthe1st good. Few small comments but I think we can do this as a PR. Are you able to get the app running and create the article as a PR? We can help here too if needed.

[danthe1st]

Yes, I got it running locally and created #45.
The only issue I had is that the Classes and Objects section from dev.java isn't present in the version from this repository so I don't know whether things like the id is correct.

[carimura]

ah you're ahead of me, just saw the PR. Ok will take a look later today!
