Question

Suppose I have an enum with arbitrary increments between contents. Like so:

 typedef enum {this=2,that=5,whoa=6}example;

Now I want to enumerate through them. If the contents were incremented by 1 for each item, then this would be easy with a simple for loop. I could still use a for but test for each option in example enum before proceeding with an operation, but that seems rather inefficient. Is there a standard way of enumerating through an enum?

Answer 1

enums are basically integer constants. To simulate sets (I guess, that is what you want) use dictionaries. Then, you can easily iterate over all elements.
