Answer
Enums provide type safety and a clear set of possible values.
Using enums for order status in an e-commerce application ensures that only valid states can be used, reducing errors and improving code clarity. Enum values like PENDING, CONFIRMED, and SHIPPED explicitly define the states an order can be in, making the codebase easier to maintain and understand.
