Can you use Enum for Double variables?

Question

I have created a class for handling Unit Conversion in C#. It is not working as it should only returning strings.

Here is the class:

using System;
us

Sorry, can't be done. Enums are strictly integers/bytes. Really, they are supposed to be their own type.

You can try:

enum Units() {
    Grams ,
    KiloGrams ,
    Milligram 
}

public function GetUnitsFloatValue(Units unit) : float
{
    switch (unit)
    {
        case Units.Grams :
            return 1;
        case Units.KiloGrams :
            return 0.001;
        case Units.MilliGrams:
            return 1000;           
    }

    //unhandled unit?
    return 0;
}
