  enumerated type
       
           (Or "enumeration") A type which includes in
          its definition an exhaustive list of possible values for
          variables of that type.  Common examples include Boolean,
          which takes values from the list [true, false], and
          day-of-week which takes values [Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
          Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday].  Enumerated types are
          a feature of strongly typed languages, including C and
          Ada.
       
          Characters, (fixed-size) integers and even floating-point
          types could be (but are not usually) considered to be (large)
          enumerated types.
