End of list of enums in Java

Question

I have a code block as follows :

1. public enum TierEnum {
       Express,
       Standard; // the semi-colon is redundant
   }
   

Well in the code semi-colon(;) is marked as redundant by the compiler. At the same time if I use

2. public enum TierEnum {
       Express,
       Standard 
   }; // again the semi-colon is redundant
   

Why in both the cases is the semi-colon marked redundant? How do I define the end of the list of enums in Java?

Answer 1

The terminating semicolon is needed if you add some code to the enum, like:

public enum TierEnum
{
    Express( "Exp"),
    Standard( "Std");

    private String abbr;

    private TierEnum( String aAbbr )
    {
        abbr = aAbbr;
    }


    public String getAbbr()
    {
        return abbr;
    }
}
