Answer 1

You're on the right track. You may read the user input into an integer and switch on that:

enum Choice
{
  EASY = 1, 
  MEDIUM = 2, 
  HARD = 3
};

int i = -1;

// ......

cin >> i;

switch(i)
{
  case EASY:
    cout << "Easy\n";
    break;
  case MEDIUM:
    cout << "Medium\n";
    break;
  case HARD:
    cout << "Hard\n";
    break;
  default:
    cout << "Invalid Selection\n";
    break;
}
