enums are used to group similar data together.........suppose you want to create program in which you use currencies so value of currencies keep on changing so if you have to use currencies in too many places in a program and you do it by using constants or something else you can get in great problem for changing values everywhere so you just simply change the values in the enumeration scope and it gets changed everywhere in the program...........
