Named and Anonymous Data Types |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The enumeration types we have looked at, Animals and Days, are called named types because their declarations included names for the types. Variables of these new data types are declared separately using the type identifiers Animals and Days. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Named Type A user-defined type whose declaration includes a type identifier that gives a name to the type. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C++ also lets us introduce a new type directly in a variable declaration. Instead of the declarations |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enum CoinType {NICKEL, DIME, QUARTER, HALF_DOLLAR};
enum StatusType {OK, OUT_OF_STOCK, BACK_ORDERED};
CoinType change;
StatusType status; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enum {NICKEL, DIME, QUARTER, HALF_DOLLAR} change;
enum {OK, OUT_OF_STOCK, BACK_ORDERED} status; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new type declared in a variable declaration is called an anonymous type because it does not have a namethat is, it does not have a type identifier associated with it. |
