Regarding Enums

Hi , I completely understand how the TryParse method works in context of integers, datetime etc. but when it comes to enum.TryParse() method, I am unable to conceptualise how that works. Can someone please explain me with some clear explanations ? Also, is enum a reference type of value type ?

An "enum" is a value type, and I found some MDN pages with details and examples you may find helpful: Enum.TryParse, enum, and Enumeration Types.
