C++ Enum Compatibility

Can you explain how enum compatibility works in C++?

Sure! In C++, enums are compatible with integral types, but there are some nuances to consider.

What do you mean by nuances? Can you give an example?

Of course! For instance, an enum value can be implicitly converted to an integer, but not vice versa without a cast.

Are there any specific rules for comparing enum values?

Yes, you can compare enum values directly, but be cautious with enums defined in different scopes.

What happens if I try to assign an enum value to a different enum type?

That will result in a compilation error unless you explicitly cast it, as C++ treats them as distinct types.
