enum Type Status
Local variable gameStatus (line 24) is declared to be of a new type called Status (declared at line 11). Type Status is a private member of class Craps, because Status will be used only in that class. Status is a type called an enumeration, which, in its simplest form, declares a set of constants represented by identifiers. An enumeration is a special kind of class that’s introduced by the keyword enum and a type name (in this case, Status). As with classes, braces delimit an enum declaration’s body. Inside the braces is a comma-separated list of enumeration constants, each representing a unique value. The identifiers in an enum must be unique. You’ll learn more about enumerations in Appendix F.
