An enumeration won't help you here, Sonny-Jim. An enumeration is simply a list of constants. Though, what you're asking is quite vague.

If I have understood correctly the result of the line ( if you would place a semicolon at the end of the statement) is enumeration type COLOR.

By default a enum has a type of int, so in your case a simple example

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;


enum COLOR{ RED,BLUE,GREEN,WHITE,BLACK};

int main() {

	cout<< RED<<" "<<BLUE<<" " << GREEN <<" "<< WHITE <<" "<<BLACK<<endl;
}

output should be :

0 1 2 3 4

It is invalid statement. Each enumeration has its own type.:)

The underlying type of an enumeration is implementation-defined; it can be a: signed int, unsigned int, bool, or char. The value of an enumerator must not be larger than int unless it exceeds the range of an signed int and unsigned int.

Maybe he was thinking about scoped enumerations (enum class) which has int as underlying type by default.
