## Enum LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind>
  - - com.sun.source.tree.LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind>
  Enclosing interface:
    LambdaExpressionTree

      @Exported
      public static enum LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind
      extends Enum<LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind>

  Lambda expressions come in two forms: (i) expression lambdas, whose body is an expression, and (ii) statement lambdas, whose body is a block

    - #### EXPRESSION

          public static final LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind EXPRESSION

      enum constant for expression lambdas

    - #### STATEMENT

          public static final LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind STATEMENT

      enum constant for statement lambdas

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind c : LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static LambdaExpressionTree.BodyKind valueOf(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
