Question

Create an enumeration named Planet that holds the names for the eight planets in our solar system, starting with MERCURY equal to 1 and ending with NEPTUNE.

Write a program named Planets that prompts the user for a numeric position, and display the name of the planet that is in the requested position.

For example, if 3 is input, the output would be: EARTH is 3 planet(s) from the sun

Answer in C#

(Posting incomplete and probably wrong code that i have so far for this attempt. any help is appreciated.)

using System;
using static System.Console;
class Planets
{
{

enum Planets { Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus };
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WriteLine("Enter position for the planet: \n");
string input = ReadLine();
int number; Int32.TryParse(input, out number);
Planets planet = (Planets)1;
WriteLine("The planet is " + planet);
}
}
}

Answer 1

using System;

class Planet
{
    enum Planets { Mercury = 1, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus }; // here we set index
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.Write("Enter position for the planet: ");
        string input = Console.ReadLine();
        int num = Convert.ToInt32(input); // convert to int and save in num
        Console.WriteLine(Enum.GetName(typeof(Planets), num)+" is " + input + " planet(s) from the sun" );
        Console.Read(); // TO STOP CONSOLE
    }
}

/* OUTPUT */
