Hello,

In C programming, an enumerated type is a data type consisting of a set of named values called elements, members, numeral, or enumerators of the type.

The enumerator names are usually identifiers that behave as constants in the language. An enumerated type can be seen as a degenerate tagged union of unit type.

Example:
enum flag {const1, const2, …, constN};

By default, const1 is 0, const2 is 1 and so on. You can change default values of enum elements during declaration (if necessary).
