I said enumeration constants are of type int. For example, given: enum foo { this, that, the_other }; enum foo obj; obj is of type "enum foo", which is compatible with some implementation-defined integer type, but the constants "this", "that", and "the_other" are of type int. In C++, the constants are of type "enum foo", which can also be referred to as "foo".
