Using C Define an enumeration type triangleType with values

Using C++

Define an enumeration type triangleType with values EQUILATERAL, RIGHT, ISOSCELES, and SCALENE. Also, declare the variable triangle of type triangleType while defining this type.

Solution

Please find the answer below:

enum triangleType { EQUILATERAL, RIGHT, ISOSCELES, SCALENE };

triangleType triangle = EQUILATERAL;

---------------------------------------------------------------

Here : enum triangleType { EQUILATERAL, RIGHT, ISOSCELES, SCALENE }; will declare an enumeration type called triangleType with its values as : EQUILATERAL, RIGHT, ISOSCELES, and SCALENE.

triangleType triangle = EQUILATERAL; This line declare a variable called triangle as of type triangleType and assigns its a value EQUILATERAL.

Please find below a sample program that shows the value of a triangleType:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

enum triangleType { EQUILATERAL, RIGHT, ISOSCELES, SCALENE };

int main()
{

triangleType triangle = ISOSCELES;
  
cout << \"Value of triangel: \"<< triangle << endl;
}

-----------------

OUTPUT:

Value of triangle: 2
