C Programming Tutorial 44, Enumerations

[iTzAdamX]

It's good for representing items. For instance, let's say that you're making a game and the weapons in the game are as follows: knife, pistol, shotgun, sniper. Well it doesn't make sense really to store the weapon the player's using as a string, so you'd store it as an enum value.

Thank you so much...your demonstration is better than a book!

I just love the way you say "Yep, perfect" :D

Best explanation video i've ever seen of any programming tutorial. Very descriptive and clear, and tons of examples shown. Thank you so much.

[tobiasstrehler]

Thanks fo the video. My prof is terrible at explaining this kind of stuff.
Finally understood how enums work and are used in c thanks to you.

Thanks for the video on enum. Video help me understand the topic.
Your a great teacher. Keep it up

[asrn]

you re extremly good at that ... thanks so much .

And this is really good then, say...in a switch statement. Since you have to switch on an integer (or an expression that evaluates to an integer), then you can switch on one of the enum values. LIke this:

void printPhrase(season s) {
switch(s) {
case summer:

etc...

nah I take my words back. C is still very widespread for scientific programming, embedded systems etc. Linux is written in C.
C++ is not a ripoff, its object oriented, has classes, templates etc. Both are great languages, I'd say THE best. So yea, C/C++ forever!

Could you tell me what software you're using as your C editor please?

Thanks, loving that built in compiler.

Thank you, you scared me! Actually there is still a lot of books being printed for C programming. I believe the Mars shuttle mission was controlled by 30000 pages of written in C++.

One question Adam: Why "else if (s == spring)" ?

Are there any other seasons you've left out? Why not use "else" for the last control arm? ;)

[igorguimaraesdecastro]

It creates an array pointer in the memorry and all the "names" inside enum works like indexes 🤔🤔🤔

First of all, one of the best tutorial playlists on Youtube and thank you so much for it. Later on what if i want to check user's answer. I created this:
char Input;                                            

printf("Which season is in there ?\n");
scanf("%s", &Input);

printSeason(Input);

Rest of the code is an exact copy of yours. But it doesn't work. It runs and i give an input but than nothing happens. Anyone has any idea ?

Hey I am using c++ visual basic and i can get it to print one of the phrases by putting a number inside the brackets in the main...?? but it Works fine if i type one of the seasons

[alexanderg]

it gives me a compilation erro when i call the method print: argument of type int is incompatible with parameter of type "myEnum". Please someone explain.

Adam i dont get what is enum good for?
