i was wondering 2 things. 1. enum BREED { GOLDEN, LABRADOR } Now, I know that GOLDEN = 1, and LABRADOR = 2 but do enumerated constants have a type? Like int, short unsigned, etc. 2. enum BREED { GOLDEN, LABRADOR } ..... //code ......//code, etc, etc, BREED breed; Is BREED breed kind of like an variable type? Kind of like int x, y; or is it like a class type like: DOG Brownie;? Kind of confusing sorry, ill clear it up if to hard to understand.

Well if I had to classify it I would say that enum is one way to create user-defined types. Those int, float, double etc. are all built-in types, meaning you don''t have to define them to use them. Enum is really more of an aesthetic feature so that you''re code is easier to read using words instead of numbers but the actual internal representation of it is still an int type.
