enumerated type
« on: August 10, 2011, 02:14:31 AM »
Can actual numbers be used as enumerated constants?   Example:  typedef enum   {1, 3, 5, 6, 7}  numbers_t;
  I know that each position represents an integer value beginning with zero but, can numbers be valid as constants??  Thanks for any help.

I may be corrected on this one but I believe the constants in an enum follow the C rules for variable names, in that they cannot begin with a number.
