Is it possible to use enumerations (enum) in programming language to store properties stored in memory?

In Swift and other programming languages, enums are typically used to define a set of related values, rather than to store mutable properties in memory. Enums in Swift can have associated values and computed properties, but they are not intended for storing state or mutable data.

If you need to store properties that can change, it's better to use structures (struct) or classes (class). Enums are well-suited for describing fixed sets of options, such as states or types.

Example of an enum in Swift:

enum Direction {
    case north
    case south
    case east
    case west
}

If you need to store properties, such as coordinates, it's better to use a struct:

struct Point {
    var x: Double
    var y: Double
}

Thus, enums are not intended for storing properties that are saved in memory, especially if these properties need to change.
