How to define the enum on global use in C?

[Help]

Hi,

Anyone know how to define the enum on global use? Example:

typedef enum{APPLE, BALL, CAT}thing;
thing things;

I try to put the whole code inside the .H file but the code can't done it...
How to use enum in multiple .C file? Please give example code.

Thank You.

Ya. I already got the answer. Add the extern in front of thing then put this line thing things; which you like to use at .C.

typedef enum{APPLE, BALL, CAT}thing;
extern thing things;

Good Luck.

Re: enum in C

in a.h

typedef enum{APPLE, BALL, CAT}thing;

in b.c
//make sure that path is correct for a.h. if it is loacl then u can do as below other
//wise u need to give the full path from the root

#include "a.h"

thing things;

int main()
{
return 0;


}

sathishkrishna's approach would be better I think.
Ussually you don't want to declare global variables in a
".h" file.
