enum data type

my doubt is a general C doubt.. we know if we are using enum the variables which we declare inside automatically increments by one than the previous variable.. but is there any method by which we could make the variables to decrement by one instead of incrementing...

Example

enum my_enum
{ var1=90, var2,var3
};

for this code var2 and var3 will be 91 & 92 respectively, is there any method (possible) to get them 89 & 88...
It was asked in an interview.. any one knows the answer..?

  • "...An enumerated type is a user-defined type consisting of a set of named constants called enumerators. By default, the first enumerator has a value of 0, and each successive enumerator is one larger than the value of the previous one, unless you explicitly specify a value for a particular enumerator."
