can Enum contains other Enum?

Solution
Sadly no, there's no good solution for what you want using enums. There are other options you can try, such as a series of `public static readonly` fields of a particular "enum-like" type:
public class CardSuit
{
public static readonly CardSuit Spades = new CardSuit();
public static readonly CardSuit Hearts = new CardSuit();
...
}
public enum GameSuit : CardSuit
{
public static readonly GameSuit Suns = new GameSuit();
}
In practice, this can work mostly as well, albeit without `switch` statement support. Usage might be like:
var cardSuit = ...;
if (cardSuit == CardSuit.Spades || cardSuit == GameSuit.Suns) { ... }
Problem
Can Enum contains other Enum elements along with its own elements ? ``` public enum CardSuit { spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs } public enum GameSuit { spades, // These are hearts, // the same diamonds, // " CardSuit " clubs, // elements suns // " GameSuit " special element } ``` Can we include CardSuit in GameSuit without redundant retyping same elements ?
