enum class with switch statement

Question

Suppose I have an enum class

enum class ENUM{ A, B, C};

And I want to have a switch statement. So I get

char c = 'B';
ENUM e = ENUM::A;
switch(e) {
    case A:
    break;
    case B:
    break;
    case C:
    break;
}

The case could never be B. But how to convert value c to be enum value?

_"... But how to convert value c to be enum value?"_ create a mapper class, that supports that conversion. — πάντα ῥεῖ, Oct 29 '22 at 22:10

What about

enum class ENUM{ A = 'A', B = 'B', C = 'C' };

?

You said "convert c to enum value", so I assume you want to use Switch statement with a character.

You may just switch (c).

except that the value of c in this case will not be a value of a member of the enum – Neil Butterworth Oct 29 '22 at 22:24
