An explanation online felt confusing but now is crystal clear. Thanks!

[@CppNuts]

Great to hear!

[@SkSafowan]

Simple to the point Excellent tutorial my friend

[@mastermax7777]

excellent tutorial. provides very good reasons to always use enum classes instead of regular enums

[@tincustefanlucian7495]

Thanks, I just learned something new

[@dishantkumawat7508]

Very clear explanation Thanks

[@CppNuts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Byynx]

Great video!

[@batoolazzam6422]

thanks for this video I have an exam on this tomorrow and my professor never explained it in depth

[@AakashKumar-gl2fk]

So much knowledge in a single video

[@CppNuts]

Thanks man!!

[@angelopapaya4692]

How to use cin, enum classes and switch cases? I would like to that integer which i put from keyboard to be something from enum

[@spicytuna08]

thanks for clarifying this important point.

[@CppNuts]

You are welcome!!

[@apurvkumar1808]

since enum classes are full fledged classes we should be able to overload the operators for them ???

[@LuvableRawrRawr]

This is the best explanation ty!

[@CppNuts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brazo98]

Thx a lot you explain this very magic like thinking simple SJ! 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻

[@CppNuts]

Thanks alot, it motivates.

[@madhurimaburagohain7438]

Thank you for explaining so well. Please make videos on boost library.

[@CppNuts]

Thanks man i may try..

[@nssravitejalakkoju3909]

can we compare a string and a variable in enum class or enum

[@MrKreidel]

Another important advantage of enum classes is that you can specify its size: enum class Colors : char { red, green, blue} That is really handy for memory limited environments such as embedded systems.

[@manuelmueller7243]

you can do the same for regular enums

[@MrKreidel]

@@manuelmueller7243 how so? Are you referring to compiler features? Professionally I would never go for such lock-in.

[@treyquattro]

@@MrKreidel it's in the spec

[@MrKreidel]

@@treyquattro Can you point me to where the spec defines that? I still think it doesnt. Also, I don't see how I could syntactically formulate this in code.

[@treyquattro]

@@MrKreidel dude. en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum

[@kudoamv]

I don't know why but in MSVC even after putting int green = 100; it still compiled . Maybe it's a runtime error ? Sir can you please help ?

[@CppNuts]

Shinichi Kudo it should not compile please check your green spelling or you might have done something else.

[@Gundyr54]

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@haos4574]

wow, didn't know that

[@sebby5336]

This was amazing. wth

[@treyquattro]

People {good, bad} should be a fundamental type!
