Using Haxe: Part 6: Enums

Learning Haxe

Using Haxe

Haxe is a strongly-typed multi-paradigm programming language that also supports cross-platform compiling into many different source and byte-code languages such as ActionScript 3, JavaScript, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Python, Lua, and Node.js.


Enums

In programming terminology, an enumeration (enum) is a description of a data structure. Instead of storing data directly, it shapes how data can be used through listing possible values.

Using Enums

In Haxe, enums are created using the enum keyword.

An enumerator describes a new type and the possible values. Each entry in an enum is any allowed identifier in Haxe. Entries cannot be expressions or other evaluate to values. An enum describes only.
