Sum of enumerated data types

I have an array of 50 elements all of which are enum types. (say FALSE(0), TRUE(1), UNAVAILABLE(2)). I would like to calculate the sum of the array elements. The function 'SUM' in matlab does not support enumerated datatypes. I tried using a 'for' loop and did something like this :

value = 0;
    for i = 1:50
        value = value + array(i);
    end

But I receive an error saying code generation does not support binary operations on enums.

Is there a better way to implement this logic?

Is the enumeration a subclass of a numeric type? If so, what if you pre-convert to that type?

value = sum(uint32(array))
