Enum class in Kotlin and Built-in Properties and Methods of Enum class
An enum class lets you create a set of values that represent the only valid values for a variable. Each value in an enum class is a constant. Each enum constant exists as a single instance of that enum class.
Enum class Represent a fixed set of named constants — like states, directions, or modes. Each constant is a singleton instance of the enum class. Can hold properties and functions.
An enum class can have a constructor, used to initialize each enum value. This works because each value defined by the enum class is an instance of that class.
Each value defined in an enum class can override the properties and functions it inherits from the class definition.
