Hi,
Can I have enum contain strings?
Thank you,

No. But if you name them right, you can use myenum.ToString () to get a
string value that might compare to what you want.

Alan,
Afraid not. Integral types only (except char) - sbyte, byte, short, ushort,
int, uint, long and ulong.
All the Best,
Phil.

Alan,
As others have mentioned, no, you can not. In this situation, what I
like to do is declare an enumeration, and then apply attributes to the
values of the enumeration (after all, they are static fields) which I
retrieve at runtime to get the information I need.
Hope this helps.

Are you thinking of somethine like:
public enum Goups
{
sCH3,
etc.
}
GroupAttributes ga = new GroupAttributes (etc.)
GroupAttributes [] gaArray = new etc.
gaArray[(int)sCH3] = ga;
In words: (1) make enum (2) use enum to refer to attributes stored in an
array
???????
Hope this helps.

apm,
No, I'm thinking something more like this:
public class MyAttribute : Attribute
{
// You can put other stuff in here.
}
public enum Goups
{
[field:MyAttribu te]
sCH3
}
You can then write a generic routine that takes the enumeration value,
as well as the attribute to return, and return it. It works pretty well.

Howdy all,
I've uploaded enum 0.3 to the Cheeseshop.
<URL:http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/enum/>
Enumerations are now sequences, iterable (as before) *and* indexable::
>>> from enum import Enum
>>> Weekdays = Enum('sun', 'mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat')

Hi,
Converting enum to strings is simple. Just we can use the enum as the i ndex to get the string from an array of strings.
But how do I convert string to enum. Should I need to compare with every string in the array and return the enum when it matches.
Whats the efficient way to do this?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
