Enums are often used in switch statements to check for corresponding values:

Example

enum Level {
  LOW,
  MEDIUM,
  HIGH
}

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Level myVar = Level.MEDIUM;

    switch(myVar) {
      case LOW:
        System.out.println("Low level");
        break;
      case MEDIUM:
         System.out.println("Medium level");
        break;
      case HIGH:
        System.out.println("High level");
        break;
    }
  }
}
 

The output will be:

Medium level
