Last Updated : December 13, 2025

Problem Solution

Here, we will create enumerations using the enum keyword for the specific type and print their raw values using the rawValue property on the console screen.

Program/Source Code

The source code to create enumeration with the specific type and access its raw value is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Swift program to create enumeration with
// the specific type and access its raw value

import Swift

enum Colors:Int {
    case RED    = 1
    case GREEN
    case BLUE
    case WHITE
}

enum Countries:String {
    case IN    = "India"
    case US    = "United State of America"
    case AU    = "Australia"
}

print("Colors: ",Colors.RED.rawValue,Colors.GREEN.rawValue,Colors.BLUE.rawValue,Colors.WHITE.rawValue)

print("Countries: ",Countries.IN.rawValue,",",Countries.US.rawValue,",",Countries.AU.rawValue)

Output

Colors:  1 2 3 4
Countries:  India , United State of America , Australia

...Program finished with exit code 0
Press ENTER to exit console.

Explanation

In the above program, we imported a package Swift to use the print() function using the below statement,

import Swift

Here, we created two enumerations Colors, Countries with types integer and string respectively. Then we accessed raw values of enum constants using the rawValue property and printed them on the console screen.
