Initialization of enumerations
The initializer for an enumeration variable contains the = symbol
followed by an expression enumeration_constant.
In
C++, the initializer must have the same type as the associated enumeration
type.
The first line of the following example declares the enumeration
grain.
The second line defines the variable g_food and gives g_food the
initial value of barley (2). enum grain { oats, wheat, barley, corn, rice };
enum grain g_food = barley;Related information
