1) What is an Enumeration ?
An Enumeration provides a way of grouping a collection of symbolic constants so they can be identified easily.
The underlying data type cannot be explicitly defined because all enumerations are defined with a Long data type.
An Enumeration is a value data type.

2) Can you define an Enumeration that contains three cities ?
If you do not specify any integer (Long) numbers, the first item will have a zero (0) value and subsequent items will be in sequential order.

3) Is it possible to return the string names instead of the numbers from an Enumeration ?
No. This can only be achieved by creating a function that matches the numerical values to their corresponding string names.
