You should not care about the number at all. Always use the named constants. Don't use such things like

if (type < 2){
}

Named constants have a name because the actual value does not matter. Always do it like

if (type == OP_BUY || type == OP_SELL){
}

Which is more verbose and less efficient but better readable and maintainable. Manpower is far more expensive than computing power.
