C# how to use enum with switch

Question

I can't figure out how to use switches in combination with an enum. Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it? I have to use an enum to make a basic calculator.

public enum Operator
{
    PLUS, MINUS, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE
}

public double Calculate(int left, int right, Operator op)
{

    int i = (int) op;

    switch(i)
    {
        case 0:
        {
            return left + right;
        }

        case 1:
        {
            return left - right;
        }

        case 2:
        { 
            return left * right;
        }

        case 3:
        {
            return left / right;
        }

        default:
        {
            return 0.0;
        }
    }
}

The end result should be something like this:

Console.WriteLine("The sum of 5 and 5 is " + Calculate(5, 5, PLUS))
Output: The sum of 5 and 5 is 10

Could you guys please tell me how I'm messing up?

Answer 1

You don't need to convert it

switch(op)
{
     case Operator.PLUS:
     {
        // your code 
        // for plus operator
        break;
     }
     case Operator.MULTIPLY:
     {
        // your code 
        // for MULTIPLY operator
        break;
     }
     default: break;
}

By the way, use brackets
