I would like to use an enum
value for a switch
statement. Is it possible to use the enum
values enclosed in "{}"
as choices for the switch()
“?
I know that switch()
needs an int
eger 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
statement?
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 EASY?) cout << "You picked easy!"; break; case 2/MEDIUM: cout << "You picked medium!"; break; case 3/HARD: // ..... (the same thing as case 2 except on hard.) default: return 0; }
