20.4.2.1.3 Enumerated types [enumerated.types]

Several types defined in Clause [input.output] are enumerated types. Each enumerated type may be implemented as an enumeration or as a synonym for an enumeration.161

The enumerated type enumerated can be written:

enum enumerated {  $\textit{V}0$ ,  $\textit{V}1$ ,  $\textit{V}2$ ,  $\textit{V}3$ , ..... };

inline const  $\textit{enumerated C}0$ ( $\textit{V}0$ );
inline const  $\textit{enumerated C}1$ ( $\textit{V}1$ );
inline const  $\textit{enumerated C}2$ ( $\textit{V}2$ );
inline const  $\textit{enumerated C}3$ ( $\textit{V}3$ );
  .....

Here, the names $\textit{C}0$ , $\textit{C}1$ , etc. represent enumerated elements for this particular enumerated type. All such elements have distinct values.

Such as an integer type, with constant integer values ([basic.fundamental]).
