To do: Converting the integer type to enum type using the C++ type caster

To show: Using the static_cast C++ type caster

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// enum data type

enum color {blue, yellow, red, green, magenta};

int main(void)

{

int p1 = 3;

cout<<"integer type, p1 = "<<p1<<endl;

cout<<"color c1 = static_cast<color> (p1)"<<endl;

color c1 = static_cast<color> (p1);

cout<<"enum type, c1 = "<<c1<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

integer type, p1 = 3

color c1 = static_cast<color> (p1)

enum type, c1 = 3
