Is there any way to directly get the name of an enumeration element instead of its value. For example:

enum months {Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec};
int main(){
    months thisMonth = Mar;
    cout << "The next month is " << thisMonth+2;
}

The output will be The next month is 4 How to get the output The next month is Apr (directly without any extra code)??

    You can't. Once the program is compiled, the names of the months are gone. You need to do this yourself by using a `std::map` for example. – Jabberwocky Mar 08 '23 at 12:31
