How does C++ treat an enum regarding its type and size?
- As a float type with fixed size
- As an integer type with variable size
- As a class with member functions
- As a boolean type
Enums in C++ are treated as integer types. Their actual size can vary based on the compiler and the number of values they hold, but typically, they have the size of an int. C++11 introduced scoped enumerations (enum class) that offer better type safety, but fundamentally, they're still integers.
