How enum can be used as string

Question

I have CurrentType as enum in a class like following:

typedef enum {
        login = 0,
        Details,
        SendImages,
       UpdateDetails,

}CurrentType;

Now In another ViewController,I want to use this CurrentType as parameter like as follows:

-(void)getLoginUserDetails:(NSData *)response :(CurrentType)service{

But when I write the following in method body

service==UpdateDetails

it gives error

How can I use this CurrentType as parameter ???

Show the complete code causing the error and post the actual error. — rmaddy, Nov 09 '16 at 05:36
You need to import that class in which your enum is declared, then only you are able to use that enum in another class. — Rajat, Nov 09 '16 at 05:37

Concerning your subject: Enums in (Objective-)C are of an integral type like intor long. You can't assign or cast enums to strings directly, but rather have to implement your own conversion function.
