+\section{Enum Trait}
+A typed enum comes with traits capture enumeration charastics and helper functions. 
+
+\begin{cfa}
+forall(E) trait Bounded {
+        E lowerBound();
+        E upperBound();
+};
+\end{cfa}
+\CFA enums satisfy Bounded trait thanks to the compiler implementing lowerBound() and upperBound(), with 
+lowerBound() returning the first enumerator and upperBound() return the last.
+
+\begin{cfa}
+Workday day1 = lowerBound(); // Monday
+Planet lastPlanet = upperBound(); // NEPTUNE
+\end{cfa}
+
+Because lowerBound() and upperBound() are overloaded with return types only, calling either functions 
+in a null context cause type ambiguity if than one type implementing Bounded traits, including typed enumerations.
+\begin{cfa}
+Workday day1 = lowerBound(); // Okay because rhs hints lowerBound() to return a Workday
+void foo(Planet p);
+foo( upperBound() ); Okay because foo's parameter give type hint
+// lowerBound(); // Error because both Planet and Workday implements Bounded
+\end{cfa}
+
+\begin{cfa}
+forall(E | Bounded(E)) trait Serial {
+        unsigned fromInstance(E e);
+        E fromInt(unsigned i);
+        E succ(E e);
+        E pred(E e);
+};
+\end{cfa}
+A Serial type can be mapped to a sequnce of integer. For enum types, fromInstance(E e) is equivalent to 
+posE(E e). Enumerations implement fromInt(), succ(), and pred() with bound() check.
+For an enum declares N enumerators, fromInt(i) returns the ith enumerator of type E if $0 \leq i < N$.
+If e is the i-th enumerator, succ(e) returns the i+1-th enumerator if $e != upperBound()$ and pred(e) 
+returns the i-1-th enumerator $e != lowerBound()$. \CFA compile gives an error if bound check fails.
+
+\begin{cfa}
+forall(E, T) trait TypedEnum {
+        T valueE(E e);
+        char * labelE(E e);
+        unsigned int posE(E e);
+};
+\end{cfa}
+
+The TypedEnum trait capture three basic attributes of type enums. TypedEnum asserts two types E and T, with T being the base type of enumeration E.
+With an assertion on TypedEnum, we can implement functions for all type enums.
+
+\begin{cfa}
+forall( E, T | TypeEnum(E, T))
+void printEnum(E e) {
+        sout | "Enum "| labelE(e);
+}
+printEunm(MARS);
+\end{cfa}
+
+@<enum.hfa>@ overwrites comparison operators for type enums. 
+\begin{cfa}
+forall(E, T| TypedEnum(E, T)) {
+        // comparison
+        int ?==?(E l, E r);
+        int ?!=?(E l, E r);
+        int ?!=?(E l, zero_t);
+        int ?<?(E l, E r);
+        int ?<=?(E l, E r);
+        int ?>?(E l, E r);
+        int ?>=?(E l, E r);
+}
+\end{cfa}
+These overloaded operators are not defined if the file is not included.
+In this case, the compiler converts an enumerator to its value, and applies the operators
+if they are defined for the value type T.
+
+\begin{cfa}
+// if not include <enum.hfa>
+enum(int) Fruits {
+        APPLE = 2, BANANA=1, CHERRY=2
+};
+APPLE == CHERRY; // True because they have the same Value
+#include <enum.hfa>
+APPLE == CHERRY; // False because they are different enumerator
+\end{cfa}
