Re: [Dev-C++] enum

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

The default is 0, and then each consequtive one is +1 the previous one. =
You can change the value of an enum by initialising it to something =
else, i.e.

enum farmyard {cow, sheep, pig, chicken, fruitbat =3D 1000, elephant, =
pigmi}

so cow =3D 0, sheep =3D 2, etc.. and then fruitbat =3D 1000, elephant =
=3D 1001, and so on.

  Daniel;

    when you enumerate variables, is the first one (by default) 0 or 1 ?
  Run this little program and you will get your answer.

  #include <iostream.h>
  #include <conio_mingw.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  // #include <windows.h>
  // #include <stdlib.h>
  // #include <time.h>

  enum {Dog,Cat,Horse,Pig};

  int main (int argc, char *argv[])
  {
      int i;
      for (i =3D Dog; i <=3D Pig; i++)
           std::cout << "i =3D " << i << std::endl;

      std::cout << "\n\nHit any key to close window . . .";
      while (!kbhit());
      return 0;
  }
