    I am new to Java and have got stuck. I have multiple threads traveling in different directions. The various directions are set up as an enum and are North, South, East and West. All the treads start concurrently. How can I tell how many of the threads are travelling North for example. I tried using Thread.enumerate(threads); but so far this hasn't helped me. Obvious .activeCount() just gives me the total number of threads running. I need to test the number of threads running in a certain direction so that I can process the next stage. Any help you can give would be fab. Thanks
