How enum classes are an improvement in C++

enum classes

Problems with regular enums:

• Two enums cannot have the same name.

enum A {
    lmao,
    ass
};
enum B {
    lmao,
    ass
};

• Above example, no variable can have the names lmao and ass.

• Also, two enums of different kinds can be compared (for some reason).

Enum classes

enum class Color {
red, blue, green
};
Color color = Color::blue;

We can also specify the underlying type, egg char or int.

enum class Color : char {
    // whatever
}
