UML question

How do I represent an enumeration in UML, specifically using rational Rose?

I believe that it would look something similar to this:

 __________________________________________
|              SampleClass                 |
|__________________________________________|
|                                          |
| +sampleEnum : SampleEnum = Yes {Yes, No} |
|__________________________________________|
|__________________________________________|

The property-list being {Yes, No}.

So that would be equivalent to:

enum SampleEnum
{
   yes,
   no
};

would it? And defined as a member of a class? At the moment I have this (see below) but I'm not sure how it fits together in UML (my book uses Java )

enum SEX
{
   MALE,
   FEMALE
};

class Student
{
public:
   //stuff
private:
   //some data members +
   SEX sex;
};

thx for the help, much appreciated

Just make sure that you can tell that the data type is enum but listing all the enumerations is a good ideas if they will fit. You could also attach a note icon.

The format is as follows:

<name> : <type> = <default> {<parameter list, ...>}

so...

enum SEX
{
   MALE,
   FEMALE
};

class Student
{
public:
   //stuff
private:
   //some data members +
   SEX sex;
};

would look similar to this:

 __________________________________
|             Student              |
|__________________________________|
|                                  |
| +sex : SEX = MALE {MALE, FEMALE} |
|__________________________________|
|__________________________________|
