enums

Learn enums in Zig with a construct-specific explanation, unique example, engineering boundary, and mastery check.

10 min read • Intermediate

enums is a focused Zig topic inside Types. This lesson explains the construct itself, the state or value it operates on, and the observable result it produces.

Read the example as a small executable experiment. Identify the exact syntax that belongs to enums, then change one input and predict the result before running it.

Topic-specific example

zig-04-02-enums.zig
zig Try It Live
const State=enum{idle,running,done};
Edge case / engineering note

enums has rules that are easy to miss when the example is copied mechanically. Check the feature-specific boundary shown by this construct: scope, mutability, evaluation order, type constraints, lifetime, error behavior, compile-time restrictions, or resource cleanup where applicable.
