- Enum Constant Detail
  - POSITIVE
```
public static final Strand POSITIVE
```
    Represents the positive or forward strand.
  - NEGATIVE
```
public static final Strand NEGATIVE
```
    Represents the negative or reverse strand.
  - NONE
```
public static final Strand NONE
```
    Denotes that a strand designation is not applicable or is unknown.
- Field Detail
  - FORWARD
```
public static final Strand FORWARD
```
    Common alias for the POSITIVE strand.
  - REVERSE
```
public static final Strand REVERSE
```
    Common alias for the NEGATIVE strand.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Strand[] 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 (Strand c : Strand.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Strand 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
  - toStrand
```
@Deprecated
public static Strand toStrand(String encoding)
```
    Deprecated.
    please use decode(char) instead.
    
    provide a way to take an encoding string, and produce a Strand
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoding - the encoding string
    
    Returns:
    
    a Strand object, if an appropriate one cannot be located an IllegalArg exception
  - decode
```
public static Strand decode(char ch)
```
    Returns the Strand that a char value represents.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ch - the char encoding for a Strand.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, a value so that decode(c).encodeAsChar() == c or NONE if the encoding char is not recognized.
  - decode
```
public static Strand decode(String encoding)
```
    Returns the Strand that a String encodes for.
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoding - the strand string representation.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, a value so that decode(s).encode().equals(s), or NONE if the encoding string is not recognized.
  - encode
```
public String encode()
```
    Returns a string representation of this Strand
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, a value so that decode(encode(X)) == X.
  - encodeAsChar
```
public char encodeAsChar()
```
    Returns a single char encoding of this Strand.
    
    Returns:
    
    a value so that decode(encodeAsChar(X)) == X.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Enum<Strand>
