The document discusses the concept of enumeration (enum) in Java, highlighting its definition, advantages, and differences from classes. Java enums are described as constant classes that enhance type-safety, can be implemented in switch cases, and have fields, methods, and constructors. It also includes practical examples, such as a use case for a rock-paper-scissors game.
