When opening a one-bid in a minor suit: with three-three in the minors, always bid one club; with either four-four in the minors or four diamonds, five clubs and a minimum-range hand, use judgment to decide which minor to open.
After a one-club opening, responder normally bids one diamond with longer diamonds than either major, or with four-four in diamonds and a major in a hand worth at least a game invitation; but the normal response is in a four-card major with a minimum-range response and four-four in a major and diamonds.
A single jump-overcall of a suit opening in direct position is preemptive, in reopening position has a strength range roughly equal to the value of one king and shows at least an opening bid with at least a strong six-card suit (by a passed hand, shows a similar hand limited by context).

 Fourth Suit Forcing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
No natural bid is attractive on this hand; bidding hearts or clubs commits you to what may well be the wrong denomination on inadequate support; bidding diamonds or spades overstates the suit quality; finally, no-trumps is unlikely to work well with such a flimsy diamond holding.
If the fourth suit is at the three-level, though, in an auction like 1H-1S-2D-3C, opener will have to bid 3NT on a minimum with a club guard.
While it is probably playable for a fourth suit bid of 2H to be only invitational, with opener rebidding 2S on all minimum hands without a stop, I think it is clearly preferable to play this bid as game forcing.

Any enumerator in the list, including the first one, can be initialized to a value other than its default value.
Because enumerated types are integral types, they can be used as arguments to the array subscript operator.
