Are Enums like python dictionaries?

Question

do the Enums elements work like the python dictionaries Keys?

Answer 1

While they seem the same superficially I wouldn't call them the same. An enum in Java/C++/C# is basically a classlike construct that has a fixed set of possible values. Usually these values are integers but Java and C# allow more complex values as well. They are commonly used for representing state or grouping common constants together.

Python dictionaries are more like maps in Java. They store key/value pairs and can be changed whenever you like.

Answer 2

I think ist more seamless to tuples than dictionaries. Tuples are inmutable like Enums also are
