What do you call one element in an enumeration?

Question

The following C# code defines an enumeration.

enum MyEnum
        {
            alpha,
            beta,
            gamma,
            delta
        }

As a whole it is called an enumeration. What do you call each item? For example, what do you call the object that is beta?

Answer 1

In computer programming, an enumerated type (also called enumeration or enum) is a data type consisting of a set of named values called elements, members or enumerators of the type. The enumerator names are usually identifiers that behave as constants in the language. A variable that has been declared as having an enumerated type can be assigned any of the enumerators as a value.

Answer 2

A member or element of MyEnum.

Answer 3

I simply call it a value of the enum, probably not very scientifically accurate but everyone understands it.

Answer 4

I would call it a constructor since enums basically are algebraic data types, although all constructors are nilladic in C# (as opposed to F# for example).

Answer 5

Item Just seems to come naturally.
