#184397 - enum advantage Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Marshall Brown said:
not sure if it got uglier or tidier with all the enums, at the moment there is absolutely no advantage in me using them over a #define as the compiler that I use does not warn on them, it does make it marginally easier to read. The enums have some very nice advantages over the use of #defines that apply incrementing constant values. One of the advantages is that it is very easy to add and take away items from the lists without having to put any concern to assigning numbers to the items. The other advantage is that it helps prevent mistakes. Just wait till the time you go to add an item to a #define list and do not do it quite right. You will really begin to appreciate the enum list after you spend a half of a day debugging a problem only to discover that there are two items in your #define list that have the same value.
