Easy way to use variables of enum types as string in C?

Here\'s what I am trying to do:

typedef enum { ONE, TWO, THREE } Numbers;

I am trying to write a function that would do a switch case sim

Answer 1

I know you have a couple good solid answers, but do you know about the # operator in the C preprocessor?

It lets you do this:

#define MACROSTR(k) #k

typedef enum {
    kZero,
    kOne,
    kTwo,
    kThree
} kConst;

static char *kConstStr[] = {
    MACROSTR(kZero),
    MACROSTR(kOne),
    MACROSTR(kTwo),
    MACROSTR(kThree)
};

static void kConstPrinter(kConst k)
{
    printf("%s", kConstStr[k]);
}
