public class TCKind
extends Object
```
The Java mapping of the IDL enum TCKind, which specifies the kind of a TypeCode object. There is one kind for each primitive and essential IDL data type.
The class TCKind consists of:
- a set of int constants, one for each kind of IDL data type. These int constants make it possible to use a switch statement.
- a set of TCKind constants, one for each kind of IDL data type. The value field for each TCKind instance is initialized with the int constant that corresponds with the IDL data type that the instance represents.
- the method from_intfor converting an int to its corresponding TCKind instance
  Example:
```
      org.omg.CORBA.TCKind k = org.omg.CORBA.TCKind.from_int(
                         org.omg.CORBA.TCKind._tk_string);
 
```
  The variable k represents the TCKind instance for the IDL type string, which is tk_string.
- the method value for accessing the _value field of a TCKind constant
  Example:
```
   int i = org.omg.CORBA.TCKind.tk_char.value();
 
```
  The variable i represents 9, the value for the IDL data type char.
The value field of a TCKind instance is the CDR encoding used for a TypeCode object in an IIOP message.
