enum Question

6 New Member
Hi, a little Q:
typedef enum
{
NUM0 = 0,
NUM1 = 1,
NUM2 = 2,
NUM3 = 3,
} NUMBER;

NUMBER test=NUM0;

when i'm writing:
test++
i get an error, how can i do the ++ without the need to do casting like:
test=(NUMBER)(t est+1);
thanks

in C++ you could overload the operator++() function

I'm not sure there's a way to overload operators on enumeratued types...

As far as I know, there is no way to get an enum type from an enum type after incrementing - you have to explicitly cast it.

As an aside, I'm not sure you have to put the = 0, = 1, etc. in the enum values...they are defaulted to the values 0, 1, 2,..., n-1, where n is the number of values.

I'm writing a class with a method that will accept 1 of 3 items listed in an enum. Is it possible to pass the item name without the enum name in your calling statement? EXAMPLE: public enum EnumName FirstValue = 1 SecondValue = 2 ThirdValue = 3

I'm working with C# and I'm setting up some ENUM's I have a data and Business layer. I'm declaring a common enum for the Data Layer. The UI layer references the Bus layer and the bus layer references the Data layer, but I would like to have the enum exposed to all three. Is there a way to trickle down that enum (Like class inheritance exposes classes) so that it can be accessed from the Business layer and UI layers? My UI layer doesn't...

Regarding use of enum's, I am wondering what the cost of memory is when creating the enumeration on the calling side, and then using it on the function/method side. See example below. If I understand correctly, what is actually happening on the calling side is an instance of the enum class FavoriteSport is getting created and sent to the PrintFavorite routine with a default value of type int. Is this correct? Say I have a couple hundred uses...

So I was needing some extra power from my enums and implemented the typesafe enum pattern. And it got me to thinking... why should I EVER use standard enums? There's now a nice little code snippet that I wrote today that gives me an instant implementation of the pattern. I could easily just always use such an implementation instead of a standard enum, so I wanted to know what you experts all thought. Is there a case for standard enums?

Hi there, I'm fairly new at this, and I am having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around some concepts of enum for a project. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Essentially I'm writing a program where i will have an enum in one of my classes. When the program is used, the user will define what actually goes inside the enum. So for example what I mean is if the class is WorkDay....and the user defines what days of the weeks he or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
