DeltaType (java-diff-utils-parent 4.11 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<DeltaType>
- - com.github.difflib.patch.DeltaType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DeltaType>
```
public enum DeltaType
extends Enum<DeltaType>
```
Specifies the type of the delta. There are three types of modifications from the original to get the revised text. CHANGE: a block of data of the original is replaced by another block of data. DELETE: a block of data of the original is removed INSERT: at a position of the original a block of data is inserted to be complete there is also EQUAL: a block of data of original and the revised text is equal which is no change at all.

```
public static DeltaType[] 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 (DeltaType c : DeltaType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static DeltaType 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
