Re: [Dev-C++] what's the (practical) diff?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Doesn't matter so much. It is mostly a matter of preference. The enum has
the advantage of being a data type.

C programmers has normally used the #define method. C++ affeciendos have a
tendancy to hate #define and obviously thinking enum is the only allowed
way.

Slight note 1: You forgot the zero in "#define FALSE 0"
Slight note 2: Use #define and not #def
