Enumeration

Description

Enumeration is a collection of constants.

enum EnumerationName {
    Constant1,
    Constant2,
    ...
}

• Enumeration is used to specify the list of options allowed to be stored in a field/variable.
• Use enumeration if you don't want to allow other developers to assign other value into a field/variable, other than the list of values specified in the enumeration.
• Accessing Members: EnumerationName.ConstantName

• By default, each constant will be assigned to a number, starting from zero. However, you can change the number (integer only).

  enum EnumerationName {
      Constant1 = value, Constant2 = value, ...
  }
  

• The default data type of the enum member is "int". However, you can change its data type as follows:

  enum EnumerationName : datatype {
      Constant1 = value, Constant2 = value, ...
  }
