How to convert the enum below from int to string?

enum class EUserState :uint8
{
    Offline,
    Online,
    Busy,
    Away,
    Snooze,
    LookingToTrade,
    LookingToPlay, 
};
EUserState temp=EUserState::Online;

How to convert temp to a string without using a string array or something repeatly.
I don't want to make it cockamamie.
Trying to find a automatic change?
Can anyone help? :)

  • There are very few "automatic" things in C++, that the language will do for you. This isn't one of them. You must do all the work yourself. Using in array, or perhaps an external script that reads a YAML or XML enum definition and converts it to an enum declaration and code that maps it to a string. – Sam Varshavchik Dec 14 '21 at 01:54

  • I don't think there's any "automatic change"! – Shuvo Sarker Dec 14 '21 at 01:59
