How often do you use enumeration?

Question

Almost Any task in c++ can be done without enumeration..How often do you use it in your code??

Answer 1

If there is a need to enumerate something then I do it, but if there's no need for it, I don't. May I know why you are curious about how often enumeration is used?

Answer 2

Enumeration is the right way to avoid magic numbers in the code.

Answer 3

i was just wondering since most topics in c++ are really stressed on but enumeration wasn't taken that importantly.
