how do I use an enum value on a switch statement in C++
- by BotBotPgm
I would like to use an enum value for my switch statment in C++. Is it possible to use the enum values enclosed in the "{}" as choices for the "switch()"? I know that switch() needs an integer value in order to direct the flow of programming to the appropriate case number. If this is the case, do I just make a variable for each constant in the 'enum' statment?
I also want the user to be able to pick the choice and pass that choice to the switch() statement.
for example:
cout<< "1 - Easy";
cout<<"2 - Medium";
cout<< "3 -Hard";
enum myChoice {EASY =1 ,MEDIUM = 2, HARD = 3}
cin ????
switch(????)
case 1/EASY: (can I just type case EAST?)
cout << "You picked easy!";
break;
case 2/MEDIUM:
cout << "You picked medium!";
case 3..... (same thing as case 2 except on hard.)
default:
return 0;
Thanks
