Enum

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000390

A special data type that enables a programmer to define a set of named integer constants. These constants represent a fixed number of possible values for a variable, making code more readable and less prone to errors than using raw integer literals. For example, an enumeration for days of the week might assign 0 to Sunday, 1 to Monday, and so on.
