✅ Enum Representation in Java
The United Kingdom is divided into 4 constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. These countries are further subdivided into regions and counties. Here’s a simplified Java enum representing the major regions of the UK with their standard codes.
java
public enum UKRegion {
ENGLAND("01"),
SCOTLAND("02"),
WALES("03"),
NORTHERN_IRELAND("04"),
LONDON("05"),
SOUTH_EAST("06"),
SOUTH_WEST("07"),
EAST_OF_ENGLAND("08"),
EAST_MIDLANDS("09"),
WEST_MIDLANDS("10"),
YORKSHIRE_AND_THE_HUMBER("11"),
NORTH_WEST("12"),
NORTH_EAST("13"),
WALES("14");
private final String code;
UKRegion(String code) {
this.code = code;
}
public String getCode() {
return this.code;
}
}
✅ SQL Representation for the United Kingdom’s Regions
Here is the SQL schema and insert statements for the 4 constituent countries and 13 regions within England, as well as specific regions like London:
sql
-- Table for UK regions
CREATE TABLE uk_regions (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
code CHAR(2) NOT NULL
);
-- Insert the regions of the UK into the table
INSERT INTO uk_regions (name, code) VALUES
('England', '01'),
('Scotland', '02'),
('Wales', '03'),
('Northern Ireland', '04'),
('London', '05'),
('South East', '06'),
('South West', '07'),
('East of England', '08'),
('East Midlands', '09'),
('West Midlands', '10'),
('Yorkshire and The Humber', '11'),
('North West', '12'),
('North East', '13');
This setup is helpful for managing geographic, political, or administrative data, especially in applications related to governance, service delivery, or demographic analysis in the UK.
