# Enumeration Definitions

An enumeration is a list of named numbers, which by default will be incremental
from 0. By default they decay to the type `int`, but the default decay type can
be set manually.

An enumeration definition takes the form:

```
enum Identifier $[ : Integer-type]$
{
	$[Enumerator $[ , Enumerator]$... $[ , ]$]$
}
```

Optionally followed by a semicolon. `Integer-type` in this context is any valid
integral type name.

Enumerators can either be incremental (from the last enumerator or 0 if there
is none) or explicitly set with the syntax `Identifier = Expression`.
Enumerators must be followed by a comma unless it is the end of the list.

Enumerator syntax is:

```
Identifier $[ = Expression]$
```

## Example: Enumeration definitions

```
// Basic enumeration.
enum MyCoolEnum
{
	A_THING, // Has value int(0) ...
	BEES, // ... 1 ...
	CALCIUM, // ... 2 ...
	DEXTROSE, // ... and 3.
}

// Less trivial example.
enum MyCoolerEnum : int16
{
	A = 500, // Has value int16(500),
	B, // 501,
	C = 200,
	D, // 201,
	E, // and 202.
}
```
