In C and C++ Programmer,switch(Expression),the Expression's result must be a integer value. enum Flower{rose,jasmine}; Flower is just a Type,not a value, like int rose = 0,int jasmine=1,you can't use it in switch expression. You can just define like enum Flower fname;

switch(fname)
{
   case rose:
    ...
   break;
   case jasmine:
    ...
   break;
   default:
   break;
}

You probably want this:

Flower f = rose;
...
switch (f)
{
  case rose : //Code for rose
  case jasmine: //Code for jasmine
}
