RE: [Dev-C++] enum

Yes, the pause argument is system depedent, but the system() function
can be found to any system. You simply change "pause" to the correct
command of any system. I would do the following:
 
// system extension encapsulated under a portable interface
void pause()
{
 system("pause");
// or sleep() or whatever
}

I've been think about this, and isn't the call to system("pause"); a
windows specific call and as such would not be portable to UNIX or any
other operating system?

A more ANSI C++ compliant code would be:
 
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
 


int main ()
{
 using std::cout;
 using std::endl;
 using std::system;
 
 enum {Dog,Cat,Horse,Pig};
 
 int i;
    
 for (i = Dog; i <= Pig; i++)
     cout << "i = " << i << endl;
 
 
 system("pause");
 
 return 0;
}
 
 
or check the comments i have placed in your code.
