enum.IntEnum in Python with Examples

Enum.IntEnum

In this tutorial, you are going to learn about the enum.intEnum in Python with Examples.

An enumeration is a set of unique and constant or fixed values.

Module Contents:

It defines four enumeration classes that can be used to define unique sets of names and values:

1. Enum: It is a base class for creating enumerated constants.
2. IntEnum: It is also a base class for creating enumerated constants and subclass of int.
3. Flag: It is used to combine enumerated constants by bitwise operators.
4. IntFlag: It is also a subclass of int and similar to a flag that is used to combine enumerated constants by bitwise operations.

IntEnum

It is used to compare Integers. See the Python code below:

from enum import IntEnum
class Animals(IntEnum)
Dog = 1
Cat = 2
Deer = 3
class WildAnimals(IntEnum)
Lion = 1
Tiger = 2
Animals.Dog == 1
Animals.Dog == WildAnimals.Lion

Output: int.intenum Program Output.

from enum import IntEnum,Enum
class Branch(IntEnum)
ECE=1
CSE=2
EEE=3
Mech=4
Civil=5
class Degree(Enum)
BTECH=1
BE=2
MBA=3
Branch.ECE=Degree.BTECH

Output: Int.enum and int.intenum Program and Output. 

Here they still can’t be compared to Enum enumerations.

Explanation:

First of all import Enum and IntEnum

Create one class and create members with integers assigned to it.

Create another class that is inherited and create members with integers assigned to it.

Next compare both of them the result will be displayed according to that code.

We can compare intenum with intenum only.
