Max and min values in a C++ enum

Question

Is there a way to find the maximum and minimum defined values of an enum in c++?

Answer 1

Not automatically, but you can add artificial enum values to signify min and max values, e.g.

typedef enum {start_of_colors=-1, eRed, eWhite, eBlue, eGray,
end_of_colors} eListOfTags;

for (eListOfTags i = start_of_colors+1; i < end_of_colors; i++) {
.... 
}
