This works

enum Test : bool
{
	yes = true,
	no = false
}
	
void TestIt(Test);

TestIt(Test.yes);


Is any one makeing use of it? It allows for more usefull nameing.

Would've been funny if

enum MyBool : bool
{
    True,
    False,
    FileNotFound
}

worked but alas, the compiler (shockingly!) isn't buggy and errors on the 
overflow..

Ok fellas so is there anything I can learn here?
Can I put this to use somehow ?
Is it showing a correct function or an incorrect one?
More detail please.

Classic example of code that's just... wow.  _That_ bad.

Good Jarrett . Only two states on and off.
So you would be the man to make more of this . Our present day electronics are
much more capable now of giving many more discernable positive states in charge
from 0 to 5 volts ought be 6 steps of 1 volt or maybe 8 of a little less. 

If we had 8 it would be stunning in speed and capacity . Like the DNA   UCAG
codeing is much superior to on/off.

In your position I wonder if you pursue any thought along those lines?

I haven't, at least not much.  Though I think there might be some merit in 
analog computers that use a fully variable range of voltages (which bears a 
slight resemblance to how (we think) neurons work).

Then there are quantum computers where each qubit is 1, 0, or "something 
else" and I don't even want to _know_ what those are all about ;)

Analog computers have been built. They are much less tolerant to noise than 
digital ones. Also They /may/ get into some information theory issues there 
it becomes easier (less power etc.) to just pump up the clock speed than 
use more complex waveforms. (I know a guy who would know if anyone is
interested)
