Intro

   I personally think we subtilize enums in all the languages. The sentence “Francisco, you can use a Enum here instead of int” comes to my mind.

C++

   One thing that I like about c++ enums implementation is that you can break the flow:

All examples are from here [1]. I hope I don’t go to hell to use such clever examples here:

// color may be red (value 0), yellow (value 1), green (value 20), or blue (value 21)

enum color

{

    red,

    yellow,

    green = 20,

    blue

};

    Blue is 21!! Like, breaking the flow!

Defect Reports

   By the way, I don’t know if you like to search about Defect Reports, it is very helpful actually.
Spending some time on it might save your time in the future actually.
