Convert from enum ordinal to enum type

by

To convert an ordinal into its enum represantation you might want to do this:

ReportTypeEnum value = ReportTypeEnum.values()[ordinal];

Please notice the array bounds.

Note that every call to values() returns a newly cloned array which might impact performance in a negative way. You may want to cache the array if it’s going to be called often.

Code example on how to cache values().
