TypeScript Tutorial 7: enum

Learn what is enum in TypeScript and how to make use of it in your projects.

I used enums in c#.. Main use is not to keep values.. I use enums there where I have properties with a defined number of values.. For example property color.. If is string can have value 'dads', but if u create enum Colors witch contains colors and declare ur property of type Color (ur enum) then u have a limited number of choices

In this tutorial you told that enum cannot accept string and produce error at compile time but at my end it doesn't produce any error even it compiled smoothly. Please have a look of the below code.
enum myConstants{
a = "pqefg",
pi = 3.14,
e = 2.73
}
console.log(myConstants.a);

Let me know if i am doing anything wrong.

Thanks,

I have been noticing for a long time that you always forget the formula of area of a circle and at the end you decide to go for the circumference instead of area :P :D
