enum variable

[caike]

Hi, all,

I define an enum in class PeriodicalItem; there is also a enum type varaible in this class:
//PeriodicalItem .h

class PeriodicalItem {
 
public:
    enum Regularity { Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly, BiMonthly, Quarterly, TriAnnual, BiAnnual, Annual };
 
public:    
    PeriodicalItem(const string &title, const string &call_number, const Regularity &published);
private:
    Regularity m_Published;
};

The problem is, how can I create a instance of this class, with value Weekly of this enum in main function?
I mean, in Java, it could be implemented by:

PeriodicalItem items = new PeriodicalItem("C/C++ Users Journal", "005.133 Cus", PeriodicalItem.Regularity.Monthly);

what shall I do in C++?

PeriodicalItem::Regularity.Monthly?


Thanks.

you can access using the :: operator, e.g.

    cout << PeriodicalItem::Weekly << endl;

You could also define the enum type outside of the class and be able to use it normally.
