[Dev-C++] enum Boolean

[Joani D. <dit...@ea...>]

when i globally declare:

 

enum Boolean {false, true};

 

and compile, an error says that there is a parse error before 
'false'.

however, at school, this does not come up when i compile on their 
turbo c++ compiler.

Turbo C++ is old. ANSI C++ 1998 includes built in bool type with
possible values true and false so redefining it is of course an error
(like redefining 1,2). Example:
=20
bool x=3Dtrue;
x=3Dfalse;
=20
=20

AFAIK, true and false are already defined in C++ (they aren't in C)
