This program below crashes because the value 12 is not in the enum. I was
curious though, how does it know this? Does it have to do a linear search
through the enum to find the value? I know "succ" fails at compile time because
the enum has assignments but how this works at runtime is another question.
type
Fruit = (apple = 10,
banana,
pear = 20,
citrus);
var
f: Fruit;
i: Integer;
begin
i := 12;
f := Fruit(i);
writeln(f);
end;

Ryan Joseph
