enum question

[FCatan]

hi, I have an enum, "activeDay", that contains a list of the days of the week : Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

I want to compare the "activeDay" that the user selected with my "now.DayOfWeek" but not sure how to make that comparison work.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello FCatan,

Thank you for writing in. Because the two are not directly comparable values, you can compare the integers instead. Here is one way to do it:

public enum ActiveDay
{
Sunday=0,
Monday=1,
Tuesday=2,
Wednesday=3,
Thursday=4,
Friday=5,
Saturday=6
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    ActiveDay activeDay = ActiveDay.Wednesday; //simulate customer selected enum 
    if((int)activeDay == (int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek){
        Print("Customer selected the current day!");
    }
}

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
