    Getting an int value from enum can be challenging in C#. However, it can easily be done by using the following code:

    OK, which is it? Challenging or easy? And a horrid discussion of why it can be challenging continues on Learn C# - How To Get Int Value from Enum[^] with this code example:

    enum DifferentType {
    long WeInt = 1,
    short creat = 2.345
    }

    That leaves me speechless. It's broken and borked on so many levels. :wtf:

    By unhappy coincidence, I've just finished writing a section for a style guide that tells people never to say that something is difficult, challenging, complicated, etc. -- because, if you do, people will believe it, and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Marc Clifton most certainly did not write:

    enum DifferentType {
    long WeInt = 1,
    short creat = 2.345}

    Well, at least they've proven that they can count up to five -- but not much else.

      This is the side effect of "You must use enums for comparisons so that the code is maintainable." code review comments.

        It's easy. Unless you're doing it wrong, in which case it's challenging.

            Well, that enum is just wrong. Will that even compile?

            Hell no. Not now, not in 2016 when that post was written.

                I think they're talking about level 4 (by Dante's reckoning).

                  Marc Clifton most definitely did NOT write:

                  enum DifferentType { long WeInt = 1, short creat = 2.345 }

                  I think I'm getting it ... Yep, it's 7-letters, the first one's an 'S', it definitely ends in "UM" ... (apologies to anyone who doesn't follow the CCC threads)

                    I hate this kind of dogmatic crap. What the hell is wrong with a define, in upper case for comparisons?
