Question

I have an enum type with a last item ‘num_of_types’. (that is, it will be 15, in example)
I’like to have a static array_of_types[num_of_types], to easily count the number of each type I create.
My idea is to have: array_of_types[the_type]++;

But, I have no idea to declare and initialize this static array?

Answer 1

Is this what you want?

enum MyEnum
{
Type1=0,
Type2,
Type3,
NumTypes
};


// initialize the entire array with 0
unsigned countArray[NumTypes]={0};

After you declared that array you can use it as you mentioned:

countArray[type]++;
