Enumeration (enum) C#

Enum stands for enumeration. In C#, an enum (enumeration) is a user-defined data type that allows you to define a set of named constants. By default, these constants are assigned integer value starting from , with added constants being by 1.

Let’s continue with the example of a laptop to illustrate enumeration in C#:

enum LaptopBrand
{
    Acer,
    HP,
    Dell,
    Lenovo,
    Apple,
    Asus
}

In this example, we define an enum called LaptopBrand with five constants representing different laptop brands: Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Apple, and Asus.

You can use this enumto declare variables that hold one of the defined brand values:

LaptopBrand myLaptopBrand= LaptopBrand.Acer;
Console.WriteLine("My laptop brand is: " + myLaptopBrand); 
// Output
// My laptop brand is: Acer

Advantages of Enumeration:

1. Code Clarity
2. Easier maintenance
3. Readability
