Original K&R C didn't have enums at all.
In ANSI C they exist but values are implicit.

But not in C++....

You can do:

enum foo = {alpha=5,		// = 5
            beta,			// = 6
		gamma = 12,		// = 12
            delta,		// = 13
		epsilon,		// = 14
		omega};		// = 15

And the standard says the default first value is zero.
