import java.util.*;

public class EnumMapDemo {

   // create an enum
   public enum Numbers {

      ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE
   };

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      EnumMap<Numbers, String> map =
              new EnumMap<Numbers, String>(Numbers.class);

      // associate values in map1
      map.put(Numbers.ONE, "1");
      map.put(Numbers.TWO, "2");
      map.put(Numbers.THREE, "3");
      map.put(Numbers.FOUR, "4");


      // print the map
      System.out.println(map);

      // get the value for Numbers.ONE
      String value = map.get(Numbers.ONE);

      // print the result
      System.out.println("Numbers.ONE value:" + value);
      System.out.println("Numbers.FIVE value:" + map.get(Numbers.FIVE));


   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

{ONE=1, TWO=2, THREE=3, FOUR=4}
Numbers.ONE value:1
Numbers.FIVE value:null
