Some good example for using enums

Question

I learned enums when I learned C and from time to time I keep myself reminding about it and most of the time by re-reading from some source,it occurred to me that this is d

I started a personal project in, and I wanted to identify my packet ID, it looks like this:

enum{
//Client to server
    //Connection
    ID_KEEP_ALIVE       = 0x00,
    ID_LOGIN_REQUEST    = 0x01,
    ID_CONNECTING       = 0x02,
    ID_DISCONNECT       = 0x03,

    //Player actions
    ID_PLAYER_INFO      = 0x04,
    ID_PLAYER_MOVE      = 0x05,
    ID_PLAYER_ATTACK    = 0x06,

    //Inventory
    ID_LOOT_ITEM        = 0x10,
    ID_DESTROY_ITEM     = 0x12,
    ID_USE_ITEM         = 0x13,
    ID_EQUIP_ITEM       = 0x15,
    ID_UNEQUIP_ITEM     = 0x16,
    ID_DROP_ITEM        = 0x17,
};

and then, when I receive a packet, I've got a huge switch that looks like this to process the packets and send them:

switch(packet.packetID){
    case ID_KEEP_ALIVE:
        //...
        break;
    case ID_LOGIN_REQUEST:
        //...
        break;
    case ID_CONNECTING:
        //...
        break;
    case ID_DISCONNECT:
        //...
        break;
    //..
}

it's my best example, enjoy :)
