Singular or plural for enumerations?

Question

Do you use singular or plural for enumerations? I think it makes best sense with plural in the declaration

enum Weekdays
{
    Monday,
    Tuesday,
    Wednesday         


        

Answer 1

In general, I consider an enum definition to be a type definition, with the values of the enum being the different values the type can have; therefore it gets a singular name:

enum Weekday { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY };

enum CoffeeSize { SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE };
