How to print an Enum Value based on an integer user input?
I've a got an Enum that looks like so:
public enum Month
{
January, February, March,
April, May, June, July, August,
Septemper, October, November, December
};
What I need to really do is ask and read from the user a number also like so:
Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of the
month")
int monthValue=int.parse(Console.ReadLine())
Lastly I wanna take the monthValue and print the equivalent Enum.
(e.g april for monthvalue 4)

It's quite useful for this type of enum to tell it to start from 1 - then you don't have to worry about forgetting to subtract the value to get the right result -public enum Month { January = 1, February, [etc],

You can simply cast the value to the enum. Don't forget to set initial value for January or take into account that by default enum starts from 0;
Console application will be next:
class Program
{
public enum Month
{
January, February, March,
April, May, June, July, August,
Septemper, October, November, December
};
static void Main(string args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of the month");
int monthValue = 0;
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out monthValue);
Console.WriteLine((Month)monthValue - 1);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
in case you don't need temporary variable you could also really convert it to enum. But not forget to set default enum value
public enum Month
{
January = 1, February, March,
April, May, June, July, August,
Septemper, October, November, December
};
static void Main(string args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of the month");
var input = Enum.Parse(typeof(Month), Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine(input);
Console.ReadKey();
}

Instead of casting the integer to an enum, you can useEnum.Parsedocs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/…

string monthName = Enum.GetName(typeof(Month), monthValue - 1);
Console.WriteLine(monthName);
