Enumerating an enum in C# | Interview Question

To enumerate an enum type you can use Enum.GetValues method as follows

enum Animals
{
   Cat,
   Dog,
   Mouse,
   Monkey
}
void Main()
{
   var allAnimals = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Animals));
   Console.WriteLine(allAnimals.Length);
   foreach(var animal in allAnimals)
   {
       Console.WriteLine(animal);
   }
}
