Enumeration based off user input












0












$begingroup$


I currently have an Enum containing 3 items



enum Order { Precedes = -1,
Equals = 0,
Follows = 1
};


I then get two name inputs and use the Compare function which gives an output of -1,0 and 1.



WriteLine("What is name A?");
Write("Name:");
string name = ReadLine();

WriteLine("What is name B?");
Write("Name:");
string name1 = ReadLine();

string FirstName = name.Substring(6);
string SecondName = name1.Substring(6);
FirstName.CompareTo(SecondName));

WriteLine("{0} and {1} {2}",
FirstName, SecondName, FirstName.CompareTo(SecondName));


I've only managed to get a number but have no clue how to link it back to the enum Order string based on the output of the number.
