problem while using enum data type outside as well as inside the class

public class one
{
enum Day
{
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
};

public static void main(String[] args) {
Day yesterday = Day.Thursday;
Day today = Day.Friday;
Day tomorrow = Day.Saturday;

System.out.println("Today is " today);
System.out.println("Tomorrow will be " tomorrow);
System.out.println("Yesterday was " yesterday);
}
}
it throws the foolowing error!
D:\java pgs>javac one.java
one.java:3: ';' expected.
enum Day
^
1 error
and if i use enum data type outside the class then like..
enum Day
{
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
}
public class one{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Day yesterday = Day.Thursday;
Day today = Day.Friday;
Day tomorrow = Day.Saturday;

System.out.println("Today is " today);
System.out.println("Tomorrow will be " tomorrow);
System.out.println("Yesterday was " yesterday);
}
}
it throws many errors!!

thanks!! debaspreet..

public class one {
enum Day { Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,Sunday};
public static void main(String[] args) {

Day yesterday = Day.Thursday;
Day today = Day.Friday;
Day tomorrow = Day.Saturday;

System.out.println("Today is "+today);
System.out.println("Tomorrow will be "+tomorrow);
System.out.println("Yesterday was "+yesterday);

}
}
====================================================================
the above code works...it workd on mine...declared enum Day global to the class one..hence declared it jus b'fo main().

sory!! teacher its not working and still showing the same 10 errors!!

Hi Gurpreet,

I have fixed your program below where enum is outside the class:
________________________________________________________________
enum Day
{
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
}
public class one{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Day yesterday = Day.Thursday;
Day today = Day.Friday;
Day tomorrow = Day.Saturday;

System.out.println("Today is " +today);
System.out.println("Tomorrow will be " +tomorrow);
System.out.println("Yesterday was " +yesterday);
}
}
__________________________________________________________
The above program works very fine. Please compare the above program with yours and I request you to send me your analysis, this will help you in understanding the concepts better. If you find any difficulty then let me I will give the explanation.

Cheers...
