C++ Enumerated type variable [C++ Enum]

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.

#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
