Declaration
Enum = class abstract(System.Object, IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible)
Description
Provides the base class for enumerations.
Example
program System_Enum; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} {$AUTOBOX ON} uses System.Collections; type SamplesEnumTest = class type Days = (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday); BoilingPoints = (Celcius = 100, Fahrenheit = 212); [FlagsAttribute] Colors = (Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 4, Yellow = 8); public class procedure Main; end; { EnumTest } class procedure SamplesEnumTest.Main; var myColors: Colors; myEnumerator: IEnumerator; s: string; boiling: System.Type; weekdays: System.Type; begin weekdays := TypeOf(Days); boiling := TypeOf(BoilingPoints); Console.WriteLine('The days of the week, and their corresponding values in the Days Enum are:'); myEnumerator := System.Array( Enum.GetNames(weekdays)).GetEnumerator; myEnumerator.Reset; while myEnumerator.MoveNext do begin s := myEnumerator.Current.ToString; Console.WriteLine('{0,-11}= {1}', s, Enum.Format(weekdays, Enum.Parse(weekdays, s), 'd')); end; Console.WriteLine; Console.WriteLine('Enums can also be created which have values that represent some meaningful amount.'); Console.WriteLine('The BoilingPoints Enum defines the following items, and corresponding values:'); myEnumerator := System.Array( Enum.GetNames(boiling)).GetEnumerator; myEnumerator.Reset; while myEnumerator.MoveNext do begin s := myEnumerator.Current.ToString; Console.WriteLine('{0,-11}= {1}', s, Enum.Format(boiling, Enum.Parse(boiling, s), 'd')); end; myColors := (Colors.Red or Colors.Blue or Colors.Yellow); Console.WriteLine; Console.WriteLine('myColors holds a combination of colors. Namely: {0}', myColors); end; //program test begin SamplesEnumTest.Main; end. |
Example output
The days of the week, and their corresponding values in the Days Enum are: Saturday = 0 Sunday = 1 Monday = 2 Tuesday = 3 Wednesday = 4 Thursday = 5 Friday = 6 Enums can also be created which have values that represent some meaningful amount. The BoilingPoints Enum defines the following items, and corresponding values: Celcius = 100 Fahrenheit = 212 myColors holds a combination of colors. Namely: Red, Blue, Yellow
