Hey everyone.

This is a better way to select a random entry from an enum  

An example of an enum group is:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or

Enums are incredibly useful for storing multiple types of data. You'll see them used in a load of places!

Now, the usual way to select a random entry from your enum list would be;

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Of course - this does work. However, why not improve it!

Here is a new method for you.. I've added mine into Misc.java along with my randomItem method!

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In

Now, lets select a entry from our enum using this new method!

(If added in Misc.java)

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

How much cleaner is that!

You **must** add .class to the end of the name in this bracket.

You can then use the entry as required!

E.g.

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Hopefully you can use this to clean up some code 😛

You're on fire with these
