Discussion & Examples: Java enums versus public static finalSeptember 23rd, 2008 Should we use to represent a constant String such as browser's user agent or simply use public static final String as before?
Using public static final as enum has many problems, such as:
Not typesafe - Since a type is just an int you can pass in any other int value where a particular type is required, or add two types together (which makes no sense). This is particularly noticeable in C programs where you will find strange constants being used in un-related place and yet it seems to work, simply because the required constant and the provided constant share the same int value.

Hi Sir,
The topic is very useful.But in this form it will not work.We have to put dot(.) after String instead of space.
String.prototype.trim = function() {
a = this.replace(/^s+/, ”);
return a.replace(/s+$/, ”);
};

Modified it to make it work correctly….
String.prototype.trim = function() {
a = this.replace(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/, ”);
return a.replace(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/, ”);
};
var str=’ this is sample ! ‘;
alert(str.length);
alert(’trimmed !’);
alert(str.trim().length);
