Today, you’ll learn about another Kotlin feature, enum classes. Enum classes provide a powerful way to represent a fixed set of named constants within your codebase. In Kotlin, an enum class is a particular class that defines a finite set of named values, known as enum constants or enum entries.

Why You Should Use Enum class

Kotlin enum classes can enhance your codebase by enforcing type safety and preventing errors. Instead of using the usual constants, which are more challenging to maintain when dealing with a huge codebase, an enum lets you provide a descriptive name like Color.RED to enhance code readability.
