![C++ Enumerated type variable [C++ Enum]](https://cdn.mycplus.com/mycplus/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/coding-data-structure-algorithm-1280x640.jpg)
This C++ program shows how to use enumerated type . The enum is a compound data type and works in C++ exactly the way it works in ANSI-C with one small exception. The keyword enum is not required to use when defining a variable of the enum type, but it can be used if desired.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | #include <iostream> using namespace std; enum game_result {win, lose, tie, cancel}; int main(void) { game_result result; enum game_result omit = cancel; for (result = win;result <= cancel;result++) { if (result == omit){ cout << "The game was cancelled\n"; } else { cout << "The game was played "; if (result == win) cout << "and we won!"; if (result == lose) cout << "and we lost."; cout << "\n"; } } } |
Output of the C++ Program:
The game was played and we won!
The game was played and we lost.
The game was played
The game was cancelled
