uint8 in Enumerations: Clean and Concise Code Representation

# 1. Enum Types Overview

An enum type is a special data type that represents a set of named constants. In C++, you can define enum types using the `enum` keyword. Enum types are commonly used to represent a group of related options or states, such as the states in a state machine or error types in error codes.

One of the main advantages of enum types is their readability and maintainability. By using meaningful names to represent constants, code becomes more understandable and easier to debug. Additionally, enum types provide type safety, ensuring only valid constant values are used.

# 2. Advantages of uint8 Enum Types

### ***

***pared to using integer or string constants, enum types provide a more descriptive and readable way to represent a set of related values. For example:

enum class Color {
   Red,
   Green,
   Blue
};

This code defines an enum type named `Color`, which contains three values: `Red`, `Green`, and `Blue`. This approach clearly conveys the meaning of these values compared to using integer constants.

### ***

***pared to integer or string constants, enum types occupy less memory space. This is because enum types only store one byte, whereas integer or string constants may require multiple bytes. Furthermore, comparison and assignment operations with enum types are faster than with integer or string constants.

### 2.3 Strong Extensibility

uint8 enum types also have the advantage of strong extensibility. If you need to add a new value to an enum type, you can simply add a new enum member. This approach is more flexible than using integer or string constants because it doesn't require modifying existing code.

#### 2.3.1 Example of Strong Extensibility

// Original enum type
enum class Color {
   Red,
   Green,
   Blue
};

// Adding a new value
enum class Color : uint8_t {
   Red,
   Green,
   Blue,
   Yellow
};

In this example, we extend the `Color` enum type by explicitly declaring it as `uint8_t`. This allows us to add a new value `Yellow` to the enum type without modifying existing code.
