    a program to create months in a year newbie question

    I am supposed to do the following assignment as stated below can anyone tell me if I am going on the right direction?



    Write and compile a C Program to declare an enumerated data type to hold values of 12 months in a year. Declare 12 variables of this data type initialized with 12 different months.
    Code:
    enum   Months{
    
                January,
    
                February,
    
                March,
    
                April,
                
                May,
                
                June,
                
                July,
                
                August,
                
                September,
                
                October,
                
                November,
                
                December
                
                
    
    };
    
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    main(){
          
          typedef enum months month;
          
          month month1 = january;
         
           
          
          getche(); 
           }

    Close... you must remember that January is different from january since C is case-sensitive.

    Code:
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    enum Months{ January, February, March, April, May, June,
                 July, August, September, October, November, December };
    
    
    int main()
    {
        typedef enum months month;
    
        month month1 = January;  // Case sensitive
    
        // Declare other 11 variables here...
    
        getche(); 
    
        return 0;
    }

Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."
