How to implement syntactic sugar for enums in C#?

In C#, the enum syntactic sugar can be used to simplify the definition and usage of enumerations.

The syntactic sugar of enums can be achieved by adding the keyword “enum” before the name of the enumeration type. When defining an enum type, you can directly list the desired enum members without specifying a value for each member.

Below is an example of using the enum syntax sugar:

enum DaysOfWeek
{
    Monday,
    Tuesday,
    Wednesday,
    Thursday,
    Friday,
    Saturday,
    Sunday
}

In the example above, an enum type called DaysOfWeek is defined, which includes all the days of the week. Each enum member’s default value increments automatically starting from 0.

By using enum syntax, you can utilize enumeration types and enumeration members, for example:

DaysOfWeek today = DaysOfWeek.Monday;
Console.WriteLine(today);  // 输出：Monday

if (today == DaysOfWeek.Monday)
{
    Console.WriteLine("今天是星期一");
}

Using the enum syntax sugar can make the definition of enums more concise, improving the readability and maintainability of the code.
