eg
instead of enum { black=1, white =2}

i want black to have a range 1~10 ?

i tried enum{black=1-10) , it compiles , but doesn't work

It does work. Just not the way you want. It equates to: "black = -9".

No, there is no way to use ranges. You cannot do this with case statements or enums. Your best bet is:

enum { black=1, white=11, red=21 ... };

if( color < white ) printf("black"); else
if( color < red ) printf("white"); else
if( ... ) ...

I wrote this to help explain/expand the answer, but I see quzah has already done something similar. Here it is anyway:

#include <stdio.h>

enum Sizes {MICROSCOPIC, TINY, SMALL, MEDIUM, BIG, EVENBIGGER, BLOODYHUGE};

int main(void)
{
	enum Sizes MySize = BIG;
	
	printf ("My Size is %d\n", MySize);
	
	if (MySize > MEDIUM)
		printf ("That's big enough!\n");
	else
		printf ("That's too small!\n");
		
	return 0;
}
