Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Enum data refers to enumerated data that means data that can take values based on a pre-defined set. Examples of enum names include John, Mary, and Susan etc. Enumerated data only supports assignment and relational type of operations. Enumerated data requires being stored in a space efficient manner. HDF is used to store enumerated data in the form of integers. The application is thus allowed to choose the format and size of the said integers. It is unimportant as to which order members are inserted. The association the values have with the respective symbols is considered much more important. Two different enumerated data types have to have equal data types of their underlying integers and a similar symbol and value association to be considered equal.
