Declare an enumeration type	Write the keyword enum, followed by the name of the type, followed by a pair of braces containing a comma-separated list of the enumeration literal names. For example: enum Season {Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter }
Declare an enumeration variable	Write the name of the enumeration type on the left followed by the name of the variable, followed by a semicolon. For example: Season currentSeason;
Initialize or assign an enumeration variable to a value	Write the name of the enumeration literal name in combination with the name of the enumeration type it belongs to. For example: currentSeason = Season; //  compile time error currentSeason = Season.Spring; // okay
Declare a struct type	Write the keyword struct, followed by the name of the struct type, followed by the body of the struct (the constructors, methods, and fields). For example: struct Time {     public Time(int hh, int mm, int ss)  { ... }     ...     private int hours, minutes, seconds; }
Declare a struct variable	Write the name of the struct type, followed by the name of the variable, followed by a semicolon. For example: Time now;
Initialize or assign a struct variable to a value	Initialize or assign the variable to a struct value created by calling a structure constructor. For example: Time lunch = new Time(12, 30, 0); lunch = new Time(12, 30, 0);
