Answer 1

You can use an enumerated value just like an integer:

myChoice c;

...

switch( c ) {
case EASY:
    DoStuff();
    break;
case MEDIUM:
    ...
}

Answer 2

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    enum level {EASY = 1, NORMAL, HARD};

    // Present menu
    int choice;
    cout << "Choose your level:\n\n";
    cout << "1 - Easy.\n";
    cout << "2 - Normal.\n";
    cout << "3 - Hard.\n\n";
    cout << "Choice --> ";
    cin >> choice;
    cout << endl;

    switch (choice) {
    case EASY:
        cout << "You chose Easy.\n";
        break;
    case NORMAL:
        cout << "You chose Normal.\n";
        break;
    case HARD:
        cout << "You chose Hard.\n";
        break;
    default:
        cout << "Invalid choice.\n";
    }

    return 0;
}
