+<h1>The enum statement</h1>
+</center>
+<hr>
+<p>
+ENUM is closely related to the <a href="define_preprocessor.html">#define</a>
+preprocessor.<p>
+It allows you to define a list of aliases which represent integer numbers. For
+example if you find yourself coding something like:
+<pre>
+        #define MON 1 
+        #define TUE 2 
+        #define WED 3 
+</pre>
+You could use <b>enum</b> as below.
+<pre>
+        enum week { Mon=1, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Sat, Sun} days;
+  or
+        enum escapes { BELL   = '\a', BACKSPACE = '\b', HTAB = '\t',
+                       RETURN = '\r', NEWLINE   = '\n', VTAB = '\v' };
+                       
+  or     
+        enum boolean { FALSE = 0, TRUE };
+ 
+</pre>
+
+An advantage of <b>enum</b> over <b>#define</b> is that it has 
+<a href="../glossary.html#scope">scope</a>
+This means that the variable (just like any other) is only visable 
+within the block it was declared within.

+<h2>Notes:</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>If a variable is 
+<a href="../glossary.html#definition">defined</a>
+with <b>enum</b> it is considered by
+the compiler to be an integer, and can have ANY integer value assigned
+to it, it is not restericted to the values in the enum statement.
+</ul>
