Creating enums - EtayJ - 13.10.2016

I see that lots of tutorials and the wiki create enums this way:

PHP код:



enum E_MY_ARRAY

{

    E_MY_ARRAY_MONEY,

    E_MY_ARRAY_GUN

}

Prefix - 'e', capital letters and underlines, is it required? Would it be fine to do something like that?

PHP код:



enum playerInfo

{

    money,

    gun,

someExample

}

No, it is not required but it avoids confusion. It is customary to write constants in all upper case and the E_ prefix is used to denote that it's part of an enumerator. It is important to note that enum specifiers are not variables; in a sense, it is a structured list of definitions.

Thank you.
The enum itsels does not contain variables but when I do something like:

PHP код:



new playerInfo[enum]

Then playerInfo will contain a set of variables as we defined in the enum, am I right?

Should be:

PHP код:



new playerInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][enumname];

and a simple tutorial of a simple enum:

PHP код:



enum enumname

{

   things, // don't forget these commas , if it's the last one don't put a comma

   things

}

new playerInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][enumname];
