Antigravity Agent e9cbf23ab5 docs(10_Wiki): Dev 폴더 누락분 반영 — Topic_Programming으로 통합
이전 재구성 작업에서 Dev/ 폴더가 누락되었던 것을 반영.

- Dev/Topic_Programming(중첩 폴더, 78개)은 Dev 자체 최상위 폴더들
  (Architecture/Conventions/Engineering_Intelligence 등)과 완전 중복이라 제거.
- Dev 최상위 엔지니어링 지식 폴더(Architecture/Conventions/Engineering_Intelligence/
  Failure_Library/Generalized_Principles/Language/Pattern_Catalog/Platform_Guides/
  Subsystems, 77개)는 이미 Topic_Programming/Topic_Programming에 더 최신 버전이
  존재해 중복 제거(고유 콘텐츠 1개는 예외 처리하여 이동 보존).
- Dev의 W3Schools 언어 튜토리얼 폴더(Topic_C/CPP/CSS/CSharp/HOWTO/HTML/Java/
  JavaScript/PHP/Python/SQL/W3CSS, 1201개)는 전부 Topic_Programming 하위로 이동.
- 에이전트 운영 상태(.astra/docs)는 그대로 유지, 콘텐츠 폴더만 정리.
- Topic_Programming 최종 문서 수: 2784 → 3985.

Java Enums

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

Enums can have attributes and methods just like classes, but with one key restriction that defines their whole purpose — enum constants are always public, static, and final, meaning you can never create an object from an enum or override its values, only select from a fixed listed set. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • enum — a special class representing a group of unchangeable constants. [S1]
  • Naming convention — constants written in uppercase, comma-separated. [S1]
  • Dot-syntax accessLevel myVar = Level.MEDIUM;. [S1]
  • Enum inside a class — enums can be nested inside a regular class. [S1]
  • Switch compatibility — enums work naturally as switch expressions, with case labels matching constant names (no dot prefix in case labels). [S1]
  • values() — built-in method returning an array of all enum constants, useful for looping. [S1]
  • Constraints vs. classes — cannot instantiate objects from an enum; cannot extend other classes (but CAN implement interfaces). [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

  • Basic enum: enum Level { LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH } ... Level myVar = Level.MEDIUM;. [S1]
  • Switch on enum: switch(myVar) { case LOW: ...; case MEDIUM: System.out.println("Medium level"); break; case HIGH: ...; }. [S1]
  • Loop via values(): for (Level myVar : Level.values()) { System.out.println(myVar); } // LOW MEDIUM HIGH. [S1]

⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

  • 불변성 제약: enum 상수는 public, static, final이므로 객체 생성이 불가하고 값 재정의도 불가하다는 점이 명확히 구분됨. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 요일, 색상, 카드 덱처럼 값이 절대 바뀌지 않는 고정 집합을 표현할 때 사용된다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Enum used in a switch statement (Java):

enum Level { LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH }
Level myVar = Level.MEDIUM;
switch (myVar) {
    case LOW: System.out.println("Low level"); break;
    case MEDIUM: System.out.println("Medium level"); break;
    case HIGH: System.out.println("High level"); break;
}
