    Enums in C# are a way to define a set of named integral constants that make your code more readable and maintainable. They are particularly useful when you have a fixed set of related constants.

    Basic Enum Declaration

    To declare an enum, use the enum keyword followed by the name of the enum and its members.

    enum Level
    {
    Low,
    Medium,
    High
    }

    You can then use the enum like this:

    Level myVar = Level.Medium;
    Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: Medium

    Enum with Custom Values

    By default, the first member of an enum has the value 0, and each subsequent member is incremented by 1. You can also assign custom values to enum members.

    enum Months
    {
    January, // 0
    February, // 1
    March = 6, // 6
    April, // 7
    May // 8
    }

    To get the integer value of an enum member:

    int monthValue = (int)Months.April;
    Console.WriteLine(monthValue); // Output: 7

    Enum in a Switch Statement

    Enums are often used in switch statements to handle different cases based on the enum value.

    enum Level { Low, Medium, High }

    Level myVar = Level.Medium;

    switch (myVar)
    {
    case Level.Low:
    Console.WriteLine("Low level");
    break;
    case Level.Medium:
    Console.WriteLine("Medium level");
    break;
    case Level.High:
    Console.WriteLine("High level");
    break;
    }
    What is enum class in C#?
    The Enums are value types. Enum keyword (all small letters) is used to create the enumerations, whereas the Enum class, contains static GetValues () and GetNames () methods which can be used to list Enum underlying type values and Names. What is the Default Type of Enum Members in C#?
