    enum and overloading operator<<

    Consider the enumeration type

    enum Colors {red, blue, green yellow, violet};

    Implement the overloaded operator << that outputs the value of a Colors object as an enumeration value.

    ostream &operator<< (ostream &ostr, const Colors &obj);

    Can you help me with this part

    Like for example
    Code:
    if ( obj == red ) cout << "red";
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
