Can the values of enum members be automatically decremented instead of incremented?

Question

For example:

enum ABC
{
  apple =  0xe,
  banana = 0xd,
  orange,
  pineapple
}

Can orange automatically get the value of 0xc and pineapple 0xb?

Answer 1

No, the values can only automatically increment. If you want the values to go the other way then you can reverse the order of the names.

enum ABC
{
   pineapple = 0xb,
   orange,
   banana,
   apple
};
