CPP program to illustrate enumerations

In this article we will learn to implement a CPP program to illustrate enumerations. A C++ program is provided below to demonstrate enumerations.

Program is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	enum direction{left='l', right='r'};
	char ch;
	cout<<"Enter direction (as character): ";
	cin>>ch;
	direction d = (direction) ch;
	switch(d)
	{
		case left:
		{
			cout<<"Go left";
			break;
		}
		case right:
		{
			cout<<"Go right";
			break;
		}
		default:
		{
			cout<<"Wrong direction";
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

Input and output for the above program are as follows:

Enter direction (as character): r
Go right
