RE: What is enumerated data type?
enumerated type is an abstract data type used to model an attribute that has a specific number of options (or identifiers) . Eg : enum cardsuit { CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, SPADES }; However at runtime the the enum will be implemented with an interger. eg : enum cardsuit { CLUBS = 1, DIAMONDS = 2, HEARTS = 4, SPADES = 8 };
