Enum Class SymbolCategory

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<SymbolCategory>

org.ek9lang.compiler.symbols.SymbolCategory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SymbolCategory>, Constable

public enum SymbolCategory
extends Enum<SymbolCategory>

Typically used on symbols; so we know their broad use and type. A Function is both a type and a method because we want to use it as a types variable but also call it. So we may need to alter these methods below to treat a function also as a type and a method. A control is an example of a switch statement that can return a value - we may add others.
