• Enum Type Methods
• Enum Member Methods

An enum is an enumerated type — i.e. a type defined with a set of unique, distinct members, e.g.

enum Color {
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue,
}

var color = Color::Red;
assert color == Color::Red;
assert color != Color::Blue;

Optionally, each enum member can have an associated value, e.g.

enum Color {
    Red = "red",
    Green = "green",
    Blue = "blue",
}

var color = Color::Red;
assert color:value() == "red";

A member's value is arbitrary and members with the same value remain unique and distinct, e.g.

enum Color {
    Red = "red",
    Crimson = "red",
}

var color = Color::Red;
assert color == Color::Red;
assert color != Color::Crimson;

If a member doesn't have an explicitly assigned value, its associated value is null, e.g.

enum Number {
    Unknown,
    One = 1,
    Two = 2,
}

var foo = Number::One;
assert foo:value() == 1;

var bar = Number::Unknown;
assert bar:value() == null;

Enum Type Methods

:members() -> iter

Returns an iterator over the enum's members.

Enum Member Methods

:type() -> enum

Returns the member's enum type.

:value() -> any

Returns the member's associated value.

Returns null if the member does not have an explicitly assigned value.
