How to check if enum value is valid?

I have a ENUM variable without intializing the values to each enum value. i.e.

enum TEST ={VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3};

Now, I create a variable (ENUM_TEST) of type TEST and values VALUE2 to it. How can I check that the ENUM_TEST is having valid value or not? When I tried printing ENUM_TEST, I could see a special character instead of VALUE2 or 1 ( as this is a default value for enum when we don't initialize).

Note that this is not "assignment". – Oliver Charlesworth May 12 '11 at 13:28
Why try to *describe* code rather than simply posting it? – Cody Gray - on strike May 12 '11 at 13:28
Most likely you are printing with the wrong format. Print it with `%d` and not `%c`. – Alok Singhal May 12 '11 at 13:29
