I came across some Enumerators that inherited uint. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would do this.

Example:

Enum myEnum : uint {    ... } 

Any advantage or specific reason someone would do this? Why not just leave it as defaultint?

    One reason I can think of is that range checking is easier. Given that most enumerations start at 0, you’d only have to check the upper bound.
