Thread: darn enumerators...please help

Ok, im getting very tired of my borland compiler....i followed my book to the T in this code, but it still doesn't work...with the following code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

bool loggedIn=0;

int main() {
	enum student (00001,00002,00003,);
	enum student id;
	do {
	cin>>id;
	switch (id) {
		case 0:
		loggedIn=1;
		break;
		case 1:
		loggedIn=1;
		break;
		case 2:
		loggedIn=1;
		break;
		default:
		break;
	};
} while (loggedIn=0);
cout<<id;
return 0;
}

i recieve the error: declaration terminated incorrectly in function main()
it is at the line that declares the enumerator (not enum student id...what in the heck is wrong here?
note: using curly braces {} instead of () or [] makes my compiler put out unexpected '}' errors at multiple lines...so that's not the problem...

Well, it seems to me you're using enum in the wrong way.

1) You need to use { }, and not ( )

2) You're using 00001 ... 00003 as names. You cannot use numbers as names. A name must begin with a letter (with a few exceptions )

3) You have one extra , (comma) at the end of your enum-list.

4) enum student id. You're trying to redefine student.
