    copied!<p>I'm trying to make a deck of cards using enums for the suit and card values. I'm trying to print off the lists of enums but I only get their numerical value and not the objects name. I have watched the video on newboston over 9 thousand times and can't seem to get this figured out. </p> <p>This is my printout when I run the program</p> <blockquote> <p>123456789101112131 2 3 4</p> </blockquote> <p>My overall goal is to put these enums into an arraylist where I can deal them out the players. When I print these statements shouldn't it tell me (Ace, King, Queen....ect)?</p> <p>PRINT STATEMENTS</p> <pre><code>for(CardValue card : CardValue.values()) {//Enhanced for loop System.out.printf("%s",card);//I tried using different styles of print to see if it would change anything } for(Suit card : Suit.values()) {//Enhanced for loop System.out.println(card.toString()); } </code></pre> <p>ENUM CLASS CardValue</p> <pre><code> public enum CardValue { ACE(1), TWO(2), THREE(3), FOUR(4), FIVE(5), SIX(6), SEVEN(7), EIGHT(8), NINE(9), TEN(10), JACK(11), QUEEN(12), KING(13); private final int cardValue; private CardValue (int value) { this.cardValue = value; } public int getCardValue() { return cardValue; } public String toString(){ return String.format("%s", cardValue); } } </code></pre> <p>Enum Class Suit</p> <pre><code>public enum Suit { HEARTS(1), SPADES(2), CLUBS(3), DIAMONDS(4); private final int suit; private Suit (int value) { this.suit = value; } public int getCardSuit() { return suit; } public String toString(){ return String.format("%s", suit); } } </code></pre>
