c, obj c enum without tag or identifier

Question

im learning cocos2d [open gl wrapper for objective C on iPhone], and now playing with sprites have found this in a example,

 enum {  
easySprite =   0x000000         


        

Answer 1

Well, you seem to be working off a terrible example. :)

At least as far as enums are concerned. It's up to anyone to define the actual value of an enum entry, but there's no gain to use hex numbers and in particular there's no point in starting the hex numbers with a through f (10 to 15). The example will also work with this enum:

enum {  
easySprite = 10,
mediumSprite,
hardSprite,
backButton,
magneticSprite,
magneticSprite2
};

And unless there's some point in having the enumeration start with value 10, it will probably work without specifying any concrete values.
