enum type

Hi,

Is it possible to compare two enum variable?! Or should I
provide an operator method?! I mean..

....

public:
enum cdtype{ audio = 1, video =2 } cd_tpe;

....

if( a.getType() < b.getType )
return true;

....
Regards

Yes, you should be able to do this comparison. The enums will be
treated as numbers for the comparison.

Hope this helps,
