Enumeration is named integral constants. You can store only the value types in the enum, In c# we have only two types of value types there are enum and struct because it can store the equivalent value in a stack, not in heap.

An enumeration is a set of named integer constants. The keyword enum declares an enumerated type. The general form for an enumeration is enum name { enumeration list };
Here, the type name of the enumeration is specified by name. The enumeration list is a comma-separated list of identifiers.

Here is an example. It defines an enumeration called Apple that enumerates various types of apples:

enum Apple { Jonathan, GoldenDel, RedDel, Winesap,
Cortland, McIntosh };

A key point to understand about an enumeration is that each of the symbols stands for an integer value.
