        //           Failure of keys to implement Comparable combined with failure to
        //           supply a Comparator will throw ClassCastExceptions.

// Final Classes

// Final Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> final <final-class-name> {
//     // Constants and variables
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Final classes are classes that cannot be inherited from and are therefore a
// final child. In a way, final classes are the opposite of abstract classes
// because abstract classes must be extended, but final classes cannot be
// extended.
public final class SaberToothedCat extends Animal
{
    // Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
    // abstract class.
    @Override
    public void makeSound()
    {
        System.out.println("Roar");
    }
}

// Final Methods
public abstract class Mammal()
{
    // Final Method Syntax:
    // <access modifier> final <return type> <function name>(<args>)

    // Final methods, like, final classes cannot be overridden by a child
    // class, and are therefore the final implementation of the method.
    public final boolean isWarmBlooded()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// Enum Type
//
// An enum type is a special data type that enables for a variable to be a set
// of predefined constants. The variable must be equal to one of the values
// that have been predefined for it. Because they are constants, the names of
// an enum type's fields are in uppercase letters. In the Java programming
// language, you define an enum type by using the enum keyword. For example,
// you would specify a days-of-the-week enum type as:
public enum Day {
    SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
    THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
}

// We can use our enum Day like that:
public class EnumTest {
    // Variable Enum
    Day day;

    public EnumTest(Day day) {
        this.day = day;
    }

    public void tellItLikeItIs() {
        switch (day) {
            case MONDAY:
                System.out.println("Mondays are bad.");
                break;
            case FRIDAY:
                System.out.println("Fridays are better.");
                break;
            case SATURDAY:
            case SUNDAY:
                System.out.println("Weekends are best.");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("Midweek days are so-so.");
                break;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EnumTest firstDay = new EnumTest(Day.MONDAY);
        firstDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Mondays are bad.
        EnumTest thirdDay = new EnumTest(Day.WEDNESDAY);
        thirdDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Midweek days are so-so.
    }
}

// Enum types are much more powerful than we show above.
// The enum body can include methods and other fields.
