/**
* An object that implements the Enumeration interface generates a
* series of elements, one at a time. Successive calls to the
* <code>nextElement</code> method return successive elements of the
* series.
* <p>
* For example, to print all elements of a vector <i>v</i>:
* <blockquote><pre>
* for (Enumeration e = v.elements() ; e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
* System.out.println(e.nextElement());<br>
* }
* </pre></blockquote>
* <p>
* Methods are provided to enumerate through the elements of a
* vector, the keys of a hashtable, and the values in a hashtable.
* Enumerations are also used to specify the input streams to a
* <code>SequenceInputStream</code>.
*
* @see java.io.SequenceInputStream
* @see java.util.Enumeration#nextElement()
* @see java.util.Hashtable
