Andrey,

    Actually, this is a type definition:

public enum TOperator { opPlus, opMinus, opDivide, opMul, opUnaryMinus };

    And what you had for the variable needs to be:

TOperator op = TOperator.opPlus;

    Values in enumerations need to be preceeded by the enumeration name.

    Hope this helps.
