I believe, there is C equivalent "enum" type existed in JAVA. But my
initial experiment is giving compile error as below. Please help me to
understand where I made mistake. Note that, I am using the latest GCC
compiler for JAVA (gcj).

Thanks in advance.

Compile error:
/*****
myHelloWorld.java:8: error: Invalid declaration.
public enum returnStatus {RETURN_TRUE, RETURN_FALSE}
^
myHelloWorld.java:8: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

*****/


My experimental code is as below:
/*
myHelloWorld.java
*/
public class myHelloWorld
{

// Return value definition (public)
public enum returnStatus {RETURN_TRUE, RETURN_FALSE}

// Private method to print something on the console
private returnStatus printSomething()
{
// Return status intialization
returnStatus retValue = new returnStatus;

// Print something on the console
System.out.println("Hi Hello World !");

//Return
retValue = retValue.RETURN_TRUE;
return retValue;

}//printSomething()

// Main method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
printSomething();
}//main()
}//myHelloWorld class
