looping through enum values

Suppose we’re dealing with a deck of cards

typedef enum {
    HEARTS, CLUBS, DIAMONDS, SPADES, SUIT_NOT_DEFINED
} Suit;

How can i enumerate over an enum?

Answer 1

You can use the lower bound of the enum as the starting point and test that against the upper bound in the loop condition:

for(int i = HEARTS; i < SUIT_NOT_DEFINED; ++i) {
   //do something with i...
}
