  16. The system that I'm working often needs to know the string 
  17. value of an enum. e.g. enum week{MON=1, ..., SUN} it; it = 
  18. TUE;
  19. Then when this enum is passed as a parameter the function 
  20. should return the string based on the enum. For instance, 
  21. weekImage(it) will return "TUE". Is it not possible that such 
  22. a functionality can be built into enums?
