enum class constructor c++ , how to pass specific value?

Question

I came from Java and here we have such option as set value to constuctor.

Example

enum TYPE
{
    AUTO(\"BMW\"),
    MOTOCYCLE(\"Kawasaki\");

    pr         


        

Answer 1

In C++ a class has to be created:

class TYPE 
{
public:
    static const TYPE AUTO;
    static const TYPE MOTOCYCLE;

private:
    std::string mBrandName;

    TYPE(std::string iBrandName)
        : mBrandName(iBrandName)
    {}

    TYPE(const TYPE&) = default;
    TYPE(TYPE&&)      = default;
    TYPE& operator=(const TYPE&) = default;
    TYPE& operator=(TYPE&&) = default;
    ~TYPE() = default;

public:
    std::string getBrandName() { return mBrandName; }

    static TYPE getMotocycle() { return MOTOCYCLE; }
    static TYPE getAuto() { return AUTO; }
};

const TYPE TYPE::AUTO("BMW");
const TYPE TYPE::MOTOCYCLE("Kawasaki");

But this doesn't have the benefits of an enum (automatic numbering, ordering, conversions,...)
