Program Plan Intro

Enumeration:

Enumeration is a user-defined data type which consists of enumerators; the enumerators are used to represent integer constants.

• An enumeration can be defined by using the keyword “enum”.
• By default, the values of enumeration type are filled with “0” to “n” sequentially and those default values can be changed when declaring the enumeration.

Syntax:

Syntax to declare an enumerated data type is as follows,

enum type_name {identifier_1, identifier_2, identifier_3, … identifier_n};

In the above syntax,

• “enum” is the keyword used to declare an enumerator.
• “type_name” is the name of the enumeration.
• “identier_1” to “identifier_n” is the list of the identifiers declared in the enumerator.
