Here is how to declare an Enumeration type called team whose literal values are the name of soccer clubs.

    enum team {Barcelona, Marseille, Arsenal, Galaxy}

Note: Internally, an enumeration associates an integer value with each element. By default, the numbering start at 0for the first element and goes up

{Barcelona(0), Marseille(1), Arsenal(2), Galaxy(1)}

Using an Enumeration:

enum team {Barcelona, Marseille, Arsenal, Galaxy}
    class Soccer
{

public void Method(team parameter)
{
    team localVariable;

}
    private team currentTeam;
}

Note: Before you can use the value of an enumeration variable, it must be assigned a value. You can only assign valid values to an enumeration. For Example

team french = team.Marseille;
Console.writeLine(french) //writes out 'Marseille'

Note: You have to write team.french rather than french

If needed you can explicictly convert an enumeration variable to a string that represents its current value.

string country = french.toString();
console.WriteLine(country); //also writes out 'Marseille'

To retreive the Underlying Integer value of an Enumeration:

enum team {Fconnection, Marseille, Arsenal, Galaxy}

team french = team.Marseille;
Console.WriteLine((int)french) //writes out '1'

Choosing Enumeration Literal Value:

    enum team {Barcelona=1, Marseille=2, Arsenal=3, Galaxy=4}

Choosing Enumeration's Underlying Type:

    enum team: short {Barcelona, Marseille, Arsenal, Galaxy}

note: The main reason of doing this is to save memory an int occupies more memory than a short
        int range of value = -2147483648 and 2147483647
        short range of value = -32768 and 32767
