Piyush Soni YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 22	no enum? Oct 17th, 2007, 11:52pm   Hi all, I'm using Processing for past 2 months now, and today I needed to use enum in it. I thought if not Processing, java allows it anyway so it should work. But to my surprise, it did't. Can someone tell me it's really there or not?

I had searched the whole site for 'enum' and 'enumerator' etc, (from the top 'Search processing.org:') but got only one result, and that looked irrelevant. So I thought it's not there.
