How do i ToString() an enum in c++? [duplicate]

Answer 1

As @FlopCoder said:

enum Colours
{
    Red =0,
    Green=1,
    Blue=2
};
char* ColourNames[] = { "Red", "Green", "Blue" };
int colour = Green;
printf( "Invalid colour '%s' selected.", ColourNames[ colour ] );

This of course will only work if your enum starts at 0 and is continuous.
@Nawaz's way is more C++ stylish though.
