#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int MAX_SIZE = 10 ;
enum  HealthType { POOR, FAIR, GOOD, EXCELLENT };
struct AnimalType
{
    
    long    id;
    string  name;
    string  genus;
    string  species;
    string  country;
    int     age;
    float   weight;
    HealthType health;
};
int main()
{
    float animalAgeA;
    AnimalType  bronxZoo[MAX_SIZE];
    
    
    for ( int i=0; i < MAX_SIZE ; i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter " << i+1 << " Animal Name, age , HealthType :" << endl ;
        cin >> bronxZoo[i].name >> bronxZoo[i].age >> bronxZoo[i].health;
    
    }
    for ( int i =0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
    {
        int sum = sum + bronxZoo[i].age ;
        animalAgeA = sum /10;
    }
    cout << "The average age for all animals : " << animalAgeA << endl ;

}

when I write cin for bronxZoo[i].health it give me an error !! "invalid operands to binary expression ('istream' (aka 'basic_istream<char>') and 'int')


why ??
how can I can cin bronxZoo[i].health ??
since I need to display the result for the healthtype

You cannot use std::cin for an enum by default. I can think of three options:
1. Don't use an enum; use a std::string or an int here instead.
2. Input to an intermediary int, and use static_cast to turn it into your enum. This is very dodgy, and could well just not work; need to do some error checking.
3. Write your own stream overload:

std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& in, HealthType& ht) {
    // do your conversion from int/string to enum here, or whatever.
}

Personally, I'd just recommend option 1. It's by far the simplest, and you didn't really need an enum here, anyway.
