An enumeration is a set of named integer constants. An enumerated type is declared using the [enum](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159626/how-can-i-cast-a-string-to-an-enum) keyword.\
C# enumerations are value data type. In other words, enumeration contains its own values and cannot inherit or cannot pass inheritance.

```
using System; namespace Forum{    public class Enum    {        enum Month { January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December };        static void Main(string[] args)        {            Month value = Month.January;            if (value == Month.January)            {                Console.WriteLine("This Month is January.");            }            Console.ReadLine();        }    }}
```

```

```
