Difference between enum and struct
I have hard time to find any similarities between the two. Curly braces?
1) enum = a collection of constants
This might be called a "compile-time collection" - just a list of
constants, from where one can choose a single constant and assign to the
enum variable at run-time.
2) struct = a collection of variable (various types)
I guess this might be called a "run-time collection" - each instantiated
object of the struct type will contain all the member variables at run-
time. As struct is just an alternative name for class with different
default access, there may be member functions, constructors, destructors,
virtual functions, nested classes, friends, inheritance etc. etc. related
to the struct.
is that correct?
No idea until you define 'collection'...
