Enum

[Bolong Yu]

Can enum type names be more than one word?

[OxBADC0DE]

word? like

enum bolong_yu_is_a_programmer{
//blah blah
}

or

enum bolong yu is a programmer{
//blah blah blah
}

?

[giblit]

enum { orange, red };

[Bolong Yu]

Is this right?

enum Hair Colors {Black, Brown, Blonde, Red, Gray}

[giblit]

Just do

enum { black, brown, blonde, ext....}
std::cout << black << std::endl;
std::cout << brown << std::endl;

Yes, it is correct. But be careful with the name Hair Colors, remember a valid C++ variable name do not contain SPACES, Hair Colors is not HairColors!
so you can have
enum HairColors{Black, Brown, Blonde, Red, Gray};
accessing it like

HairColors::Black //or
HairColors::Red

If you are using the same colors/values for more than just haircolors I wouldn't give the enum a name and just call the values by the color eg:
int a = black, b = brown;

Name of enum is an identifier. Identifiers in C/C++ may not have embedded spaces.
