EEnum

EEnum is a programming concept used to define a set of named constants. It provides a way to create a user-defined type that is composed of a fixed set of identifiers. These identifiers, often referred to as enumerators or enum members, represent distinct values. The primary purpose of EEnum is to improve code readability and maintainability by replacing arbitrary integer values with meaningful names. For instance, instead of using 0, 1, or 2 to represent different states, an EEnum could define states like "Pending," "Processing," and "Completed," making the code's intent much clearer. EEnums can also help prevent errors by ensuring that only valid predefined values can be assigned to variables of that type. Different programming languages implement EEnum with varying syntax and capabilities, but the core principle of named constants remains consistent. They are a fundamental tool for creating more robust and understandable software.
