C# - Inherit Enum

In C#, you cannot inherit an enum from another enum or any other type. Enums in C# are value types, and they do not support inheritance like classes or interfaces.

Enums are used to define a set of named constant values. Each enum value represents a unique named constant within the enum type. Enums provide a way to create a distinct set of values with meaningful names, which helps improve code readability and maintainability.

Here's an example of defining an enum in C#:



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

In the above example, 'DaysOfWeek' is an enum type that defines the days of the week as named constants.

While you cannot inherit an enum, you can use other techniques to extend or work with enum values, such as defining additional enum types or using extension methods to add behavior to enum values. However, these approaches do not involve inheritance between enum types.
