Thread: problems with 'enum'

Hello first,


i have a tiny problem with the datatyp enum.

Code:

enum weekday{
    Sonntag,
    Montag,
    Dienstag,
    Mittwoch,
    Donnerstag,    
    Freitag,
    Samstag
    };

weekday day;

so this is what i defined for it. what i know is that every weekday equals a number, beginning with sonntag = 0, Montag = 1 and so on.
So my question is now can i PRINT the weekday if i only have the number?
for example:
i have an..

Code:

int weekday = 2;

how can i print weekday or day that the result look like this:

Code:

cout << day << endl;

what i want it to look like:

Dienstag

what it acually look like:

2


does anyone has an idea?

like this just with more prints?

Code:

ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, weekday rhs){
    switch (rhs){
        case 0:
        cout << "Sonnstag" << endl;
        }
    }
