Objective-c: NSString to enum

Question

So, I\'ve got this definition:

typedef enum {
    red = 1,
    blue = 2,
    white = 3
} car_colors;

Then, I\'ve got a variable of type car_col

Answer 1

You could also put the values in an array.

NSArray *carColorsArray = @[@"red", @"blue", @"white"];

You can then use indexOfObject to get the index of a particular string.

car_colors carColor = [carColorsArray indexOfObject:@"blue"] + 1;
