enums

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I think I have no idea what D enums are about.

Bearophile's example of some code in an email on another thread uses:

        enum double p0 = 0.0045;

Now I would have written:

        immutable double p0 = 0.0045;

or at the very worst:

        const double p0 = 0.0045;

For me, enum means create an enumerated type. Thus "enum double" to
define a single value is just a contradiction.

Enlightenment required…
