Introduction
Enumeration (or enum) is a value data type in C#. It is mainly used to assign the names or string values to integral constants, that make a program easy to read and maintain. The main objective of enum is to define our own data types(Enumerated Data Types). Enumeration is declared using enum keyword directly inside a namespace, class, or structure.
Syntax
enum Enum_variable
{
string_1...;
string_2...;
.
.
}
Example
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Hello_World
{
enum month
{
// following are the data members
Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday,
Thursday,
Friday,
Saturday,
Sunday
}
class Program
{
static void Main(String[] args)
{
// getting the integer values of data members..
Console.WriteLine("The value of Monday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Monday);
Console.WriteLine("The value of Tuesday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Tuesday);
Console.WriteLine("The value of Wednesday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Wednesday);
Console.WriteLine("The value of Thursday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Thursday);
Console.WriteLine("The value of Friday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Friday);
Console.WriteLine("The value of Saturday in week " "enum is " (int)month.Saturday);
