Enumeration_Impl

public interface Enumeration
extends DataType

In the metamodel, Enumeration defines a kind of DataType whose range is a list of predefined values, called enumeration literals. Enumeration literals can be copied, stored as values, and passed as arguments. They are ordered within their enumeration datatype. An enumeration literal can be compared for an exact match or to a range within its enumeration datatype. There is no other algebra defined on them (e.g., they cannot be added or subtracted). The run-time instances of a Primitive dataype are Values. Each such value corresponds to exactly one EnumerationLiteral defined as part of the Enumeration type itself. An Enumeration may have operations, but they must be pure functions (this is the rule for all DataType elements).
