Enumerations

Spice supports simple enumerations. These constructs are syntactic sugar over int constants.

Usage¶

Enumerations in Spice work like this:

type Fruit enum {
    APPLE,
    BANANA,
    MANGO,
    ORANGE
}

f<int> main() {
    printf("Test: %d", Fruit::MANGO);
}

They can be defined only in the global scope. Spice will assign the unsigned integer values 0 to 3 to the items automatically.

Enum items can have values assigned to them. Here is an example:

type Vegetable enum {
    CUCUMBER = 5,
    TOMATO,
    CARROT = 2,
    POTATO
}

Spice will then assign 0 for TOMATO and 1 for POTATO.
