Enums for a Fixed Set of Values

Name a closed list of options.

A Closed List of Choices

Some values come from a small, fixed menu: a traffic light is red, yellow, or green. An enum names exactly that closed list of options.

You write enum and list the names you want inside braces. Each name is one valid value of that type.

const Color = enum { red, green, blue };
