Print text instead of value from C enum

{

  enum Days{Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday};

  Days TheDay;

  int j = 0;

  printf(\"Please enter the day of the week (0 to         


        

Answer 1

The way I usually do this is by storing the string representations in a separate array in the same order, then indexing the array with the enum value:

const char *DayNames[] = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", /* etc */ };
printf("%s", DayNames[Sunday]); // prints "Sunday"
